A perfectly conducting cylinder of unknown shape buried in one half-space and scatters the incident wave from another half-space where the scattered field is recorded. Based on the boundary condition and the measured scattered field, a set of nonlinear integral equations is derived and the imaging problem is reformulated into an optimization problem. The steady state genetic algorithm is then employed to find out the global extreme solution of the cost function. Numerical results demonstrated that, even when the initial guess is far away from the exact one, good reconstruction can be obtained. In such a case, the gradient-based methods often get trapped in a local extreme. In addition, the effect of different noise on the reconstruction is investigated.
