Through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI) provides the capability to see inside buildings using electromagnetic waves for both defence and civilian applications. Unlike traditional free-space radar operation, the presence of walls introduces unique challenges that need to be addressed to render TWRI a viable technology. In this chapter, we present a review of various approaches for building layout determination and imaging of stationary indoor scenes. These approaches effectively address the associated challenges to provide effective and reliable radar operation. Specifically, we consider both ground-based and airborne radar operation and discuss both non-adaptive time-domain and frequency-domain beamforming approaches for through-the-wall image formation of stationary scenes and feature extraction-based building layout determination methods.
