Title
From Theory to Application: Real-Time Sparse SAR Imaging
Abstract
In recent years, the sparse signal processing technique has shown significant potential in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, such as image performance improvement and downsampled data-based image recovery. However, due to the huge computational complexity needed, the existing sparse SAR imaging methods, such as conventional observation matrix-based and azimuth-range decouple-based algorithms, are not able to achieve real-time processing, especially for the large-scale scenes, which seriously restricts its application in some fields, e.g., real-time monitoring and early warning. To solve this problem, this article presents a novel real-time sparse SAR imaging method, which can get a similar image performance to that obtained by the existing sparse imaging methods, to reduce the computational complexity to the same order as that required by matched filtering (MF)-based algorithms. This means that with the proposed method, real-time data processing for practical large-scale scene sparse reconstruction becomes possible. Experimental results based on simulated and real data along with a performance analysis are presented to validate the proposed real-time sparse imaging method.
