This invention relates to the field of
metal environment imaging, and more particularly to an environmental imaging method and apparatus based on
millimeter-
wave radar. The method includes the following steps: transmitting multi-frequency signals to the
metal environment to be detected using a
millimeter-
wave radar array, and extracting multipath
signal sequences; performing
interferometric phase analysis based on the multipath
signal sequences to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of the
metal and the actual target reflection point; performing iterative forward calculation based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the metal and the actual target reflection point to obtain a first metal environment image; and performing iterative residual convergence on the first metal environment image to output a second metal environment image. This invention achieves high-precision and reliable three-dimensional imaging of complex metal environments.
