The application of two techniques for the reconstruction of shape reconstruction of a metallic
cylinder from scattered field measurements is studied in this paper. These techniques are
applied to two-dimensional configurations, for which the method of moment (MoM) is
applied to solve the integral equations. Considering that the microwave imaging is recast
as a nonlinear optimization problem, an objective function is defined by the norm of the
difference between the measured scattered electric fields and those calculated for each estimated
metallic cylinder. Thus, the shape of a metallic cylinder can be obtained by minimizing
the objective function. In order to solve this inverse scattering problem, two techniques
are employed. The first one is based on dynamic differential evolution (DDE) algorithm,
while the second one is an improved version of the DDE algorithm with self-adaptive control
parameters, called SADDE. Both techniques are tested for the simulated data contaminated
by additive white Gaussian noise. Numerical results indicate that SADDE algorithm outperforms
DDE algorithm in terms of reconstruction accuracy and convergence speed.
