This paper considers the problem of multipath ghosts elimination for the through-wall radar imaging. We formulate a discrete signal model in the presence of first-order multipath, and propose an imaging dictionary based algorithm to suppress the multipath ghosts. Specifically, first, several estimated images are obtained via two different kinds of imaging dictionaries for the focus delays related to the direct propagation path and the multipaths, respectively. We find that all the estimated images possess large values around the genuine target positions and the multipath ghosts of them do not overlap with each other. Then, based on this feature, these images are fused via incoherent multiplication image fusion method to yield a multipath ghosts free image. Finally, the simulation and real data are used to prove the validity of the proposed approach.
