Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for calibrating acquired scattering data in a three-dimensional (3D) microwave imaging system. A scattering data calibrating method may include acquiring microwave scattering data for each height of a tank containing a target using a microwave transceiving sensor; and calibrating the microwave scattering data based on a variation between a plurality of sets of microwave scattering data. A height of the tank at which the microwave scattering data is to be acquired may be determined based on a height of the microwave transceiving sensor is located in the tank.
