A cylindrical wave expansion method is Developed to obtain the scattering field for an ideal
two-dimensional cylindrical invisibility cloak. A near-ideal model of the invisibility cloak is set up
to solve the boundary problem at the inner boundary of the cloak shell. We confirm that a cloak
with the ideal material parameters is a perfect invisibility cloak by systematically studying the
change of the scattering coefficients from the near-ideal case to the ideal one. However, due to the
slow convergence of the zeroth order scattering coefficients, a tiny perturbation on the cloak would
induce a noticeable field scattering and penetration.
HDFDUMP and BRFDUMP are utility programs Developed for use with MISR data
files. HDFDUMP will extract data from a MISR file in the HDF-EOS grid format
(MISR Level 1B2 and Level 2 files) and writes unformatted binary files. BRFDUMP
calculates radiances and bidirectional reflectance factors (BRF) from MISR Level 1B2
files and creates unformatted binary files.
