Non-destructive inspection of tires using radar tomography

A method, comprising:

• transmitting radar signals to illuminate a portion of a surface of a tire;
• receiving reflected radar signals from the portion of the surface of the tire;
• and
• generating a three-dimensional (3D) image of at least the portion of the tire, the 3D image based at least in part upon the reflected radar signals.

A system, comprising:

• a transmitter configured to transmit a radar signal to illuminate a portion of a tire;
• a receiver configured to receive reflected radar signals from the portion of the tire;
• at least one computing device configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) image of at least the portion of the tire;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to communicate reflected radar data corresponding the reflected radar signals to the at least one computing device, the 3D image based at least in part upon the reflected radar data.
