This letter studies the problem of ultrawideband (UWB) tomographic imaging for unknown building layouts where the multipath-rich condition is considered. Specifically, first, the multiple propagation paths of the UWB signal are analyzed, and a delay estimation algorithm is proposed to estimate the direct path (DP) delay from the multipath signal. Then, a tomographic projection model is established by mapping the relationship between the delay of the DP and the relative permittivity of the unknown layout. Besides, a modified total variation method is developed to reconstruct the building layout, which shows significant performance in preserving the edges of the structure. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified using both simulated and real data.
