加速迭代硬阈值ISAR稀疏成像

加速迭代硬阈值(AIHT)作为一种压缩感知(CS)算法,具有计算复杂度低、内存占用小的特点,在较小数目的观测下,经过有限次迭代便能获得较好的重建效果。因此,本文将该算法应用到逆合成孔径雷达(ISAR)稀疏成像,对该方法的具体特征和适用性进行了详细分析。仿真结果表明,在相同信噪比和回波脉冲数条件下,基于AIHT的ISAR成像方法,相比于稀疏贝叶斯算法(SBL),在重建时间上缩短了至少2个量级;相比于迭代加权最小二乘法(IRLS)和平滑l0范数算法,在重建质量上提高了约3倍。经实测数据处理结果验证,在1/4原始脉冲数条件下,该方法仍具有良好的聚焦性能和压低旁瓣效果。     

Migration through resolution cell compensation in ISAR imaging

Range-Doppler (RD) processing is widely used in conventional inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. The unwanted translational motion of moving targets is compensated by envelope alignment and autofocus. For existing ISAR imaging algorithms, the scatterers' migration through resolution cells (MTRC) caused by the rotational motion is usually ignored. With the improvement of resolution or the increase of target size, MTRC cannot be neglected. In this letter, the keystone formatting algorithm developed in SAR is used for the MTRC compensation in ISAR. Before the keystone formatting, coherent processing must be performed on the raw phase history data. An effective approach is proposed for this kind of coherent processing. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.     

Three-Dimensional ISAR Imaging Using a Two-Dimensional Sparse Antenna Array

Conventional antenna array 3-D inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging method does imaging by first carrying out ISAR imaging for all the different antennas and then using array direction of arrival (DOA) estimation on every scatterer to get the position of that scatterer. The aperture formed by the target's motion is used to separate the scatterers, and the antenna array aperture is used for position measurement. In this letter, a 3-D imaging method based on a combination of sparse array beamforming and ISAR imaging is proposed, where 3-D images are formed by space-time match filtering. The estimation of the target's rotation parameters is also given. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed methods.      

Quaternion-Based Transformation for Extraction of Image-Generating Doppler for ISAR

Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) is an imaging technique that is dependent on an object's rotational motion over a coherent processing interval. Maritime vessels and aircraft possess 3-D rotational motion, whereas it is only their ISAR contributing motion that is useful to the ISAR imaging process; the contributing motion consists of the Doppler generating axis and the effective angle of rotation. This letter presents a quaternion-based transformation that converts measured attitude and position data into an object's Doppler generating axis and effective angular rotation rate. This transformation is significant since it isolates the component of the motion that directly influences the ISAR image. It provides an alternative approach that can be used to understand the causes of blurring of most ISAR images of sea vessels as well to identify good imaging intervals for applications such as cooperative ISAR for radar cross section measurement purposes.      

ISAR Imaging of a Ship Target Using Product High-Order Matched-Phase Transform

Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of a ship target is very important compared with the plane target, and the imaging condition of the ship target is more complicated than that of the plane target due to the complexity of the ship's movement. In this letter, the received signal of a ship target is modeled as a multicomponent cubic phase signal, and the product high-order matched-phase transform is proposed to estimate the parameters of each component. Then, the instantaneous ISAR images can be obtained. Results of real data demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method proposed.     

Study on Spaceborne/Airborne Hybrid Bistatic SAR Image Formation in Frequency Domain

To better understand the fundamental of the spaceborne/airborne hybrid bistatic SAR (SA-BSAR) image formation, the range cell migration (RCM) of the SA-BSAR is studied in the range-Doppler domain, where the RCM in SA-BSAR can be explicitly expressed in close form. Through the analysis of RCM relationship with target's azimuth and range position, we can find that, because of the system platforms' velocity difference along the azimuth direction, the RCM in SA-BSAR is 2-D space variant. Therefore, the fundamental of frequency-domain image formation in SA-BSAR is to process the 2-D space-variant RCM correction (RCMC) for nonreferent targets besides the bulk RCMC operation in the frequency domain. Furthermore, appropriate solutions in the frequency domain to remove the RCM in SA-BSAR are proposed and verified with five-point-target simulation.

Adaptive inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging for nonuniformly moving targets

A novel adaptive inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging technique is proposed for targets with nonuniform motion. The proposed algorithm is referred to as the generalized range-Doppler (GRD) ISAR imaging technique and is based on the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT). By utilizing this technique, clear ISAR imaging can be achieved for nonuniformly moving targets without involvement of complex motion compensation. Simulation results have proved that the new algorithm is robust and also computationally efficient as compared with previously reported algorithms such as joint time-frequency (JTF) imaging.

Robust ISAR Range Alignment via Minimizing the Entropy of the Average Range Profile

In this letter, a novel global approach to range alignment for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image formation is presented. The algorithm is based on the minimization of the entropy of the average range profile (ARP), and the processing chain is capable of exploiting the efficiency of the fast Fourier transform. With respect to the existing global methods, the new one requires no exhaustive search operation and eliminates the necessity of the parametric model for the relative offset among the range profiles. The derivation of the algorithm indicates that the presented methodology is essentially an iterative solution to a set of simultaneous equations, and its robustness is also ensured by the iterative structure. Some alternative criteria, such as the maximum contrast of the ARP, can be introduced into the algorithm with a minor change in the entropy-based method. The convergence and robustness of the presented algorithm have been validated by experimental ISAR data.

针对大气延迟时变误差影响遥感卫星十三号(YG-13A)斜距标定精度的问题,提出利用顾及大气延迟时变误差的斜距标定方法提高其斜距标定精度的策略。首先,利用基于NCEP气象资料和全球TEC数据的大气延迟改正方法来计算各标定景的大气延迟改正量。其次,将各标定景的大气延迟改正量代入斜距标定模型中。最后,在地面布设高精度角反射器控制点的情况下通过顾及大气延迟时变误差的斜距标定模型求解斜距测量系统误差,从而提高和验证斜距测量精度,角反射器控制点的平面和高程精度均优于0.1 m。利用嵩山遥感定标场地区的4组不同拍摄模式下获得的YG-13A卫星影像数据对比试验表明,相较于传统的斜距定标方法,在顾及大气延迟时变误差的情况下,4组数据的斜距改正值离散度均有所下降。利用太原、天津两个区域3景影像验证斜距改正后的精度,最小值为0.55 m,最大值为0.91 m,均值为0.70 m。试验结果证明了顾及大气延迟时变误差的斜距标定方法的有效性和可行性。     

Single Range Matching Filtering for Space Debris Radar Imaging

In the recent literature, only single-range Doppler interferometry (SRDI) has been considered for radar imaging of space debris with dimensions smaller than the radar range resolution. Considering the typical trajectories and dynamics of space debris, a single-range matching filtering (SDMF) approach is proposed in this letter. SDMF permits obtaining a 2-D image of space debris by using range unit cross-range echo data and by matched filtering the signals with different turning radii. The analysis and simulations show that, compared with SRDI, the proposed approach has less computational load and better images, particularly, for targets with smaller size.     

Universal reconstruction method for radiometric quality improvement of remote sensing images

The performance of remote sensing images in some applications is often affected by the existence of noise, blurring, stripes and corrupted pixels, as well as the hardware limits of the sensor with respect to spatial resolution. This paper presents a universal reconstruction method that can be used to improve the image quality by performing image denoising, deconvolution, destriping, inpainting, interpolation and super-resolution reconstruction. The proposed method consists of two parts: a universal image observation model and a universal image reconstruction model. In the observation model, most degradation processes in remote sensing imaging are considered in order to relate the desired image to the observed images. For the reconstruction model, we use the maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework to set up the minimization energy equation. The likelihood probability density function (PDF) is constructed based on the image observation model, and a robust Huber–Markov model is employed as the prior PDF. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
