Abstract :
The high frequency method can deal with the metal material structure and get a good result. The other method should be used to describe the process of the shadow in the radar image. These shadows are important feature in the radar image. The stability of the shadow contour makes it helpful for the recognition process of the target body. Deterministic and statistical methods play different parts in the radar image simulation. The ray tracing techniques is constructed to describe whole simulation process. Corresponding to the MSTAR image, X band image is simulated under the same imaging condition. Comparing with the same attitude´s images, the shadow contour looks similar; and the target part is well coincident too.
