Recent Progress in Intelligent Electromagnetic Sensing

Abstract

Intelligent electromagnetic sensing, which is based on electromagnetic imaging, aims to realize the real-time and smart imaging and recognition of objects of interest. Thus, intelligent electromagnetic sensing has been applied in many areas, including science, engineering, and the military. Recently, we explored the unique capabilities of artificial intelligence and artificial materials in the flexible manipulation of electromagnetic information and electromagnetic wavefields, respectively. Further, we developed several interesting schemes for intelligent electromagnetic sensing by fully incorporating artificial intelligence with artificial materials, particularly information metamaterials. Thus, several intelligent electromagnetic sensing systems, which exhibit interesting properties, like low hardware cost and high efficiency, have been developed. The proposed sensing strategies are expected to pave the way for wireless communications, smart homes, and other future applications.
