1. An imaging system, comprising:
- a first imaging system configured to provide first signals to a target area and to receive first reflected signals;
a second imaging system configured to provide second signals to the target area and to receive second reflected signals, the first and second signals having separate frequency bands; and
a processor configured to correct the backscattering coefficient values of the first reflected signals based on at least a portion of the second reflected signals, and to generate an image based on the corrected first reflected signals.

Abstract
One embodiment describes an imaging system. The system includes a first imaging system configured to provide first signals to a target area and to receive first response signals. The system also includes a second imaging system configured to provide second signals to the target area and to receive second response signals. The first and second signals can have separate frequency bands. The system further includes a processor configured to correct the first response signals based on the second response signals, and to generate an image based on the corrected first response signals.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by an associated processor to perform a method for imaging, the method comprising:
-
correcting reflected radar signals that are received from a radar system corresponding to backscattered radar signals reflected from a target area, the reflected radar signals being corrected based on at least a portion of reflected lidar signals that are received from a lidar system corresponding to backscattered lidar signals reflected from the target area; generating a corrected radar image based on the corrected reflected radar signals; generating a lidar image based on the reflected lidar signals; and fusing the corrected radar image with the lidar image to generate a fused image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
