Image recognition using time domain methods

Atef Elsherbeni | aelsherb@mines.edu

Electromagnetic imaging is used for many applications, including mining and medical diagnosis. This project will start with the basics of electromagnetic modeling, followed by imaging techniques using inverse time domain simulation techniques. Once a numerical procedure is adapted, enhancement of the process using higher order formulation will be investigated. The finite difference time domain method and the time reversal concept will be used.
