Title
3D Sparse SAR Image Reconstruction Based on Cauchy Penalty and Convex Optimization
Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images can provide comprehensive 3D spatial information for environmental monitoring, high dimensional mapping and radar cross sectional (RCS) measurement. However, the SAR image obtained by the traditional matched filtering (MF) method has a high sidelobe and is easily disturbed by noise. In order to obtain high-quality 3D SAR images, sparse signal processing has been used in SAR imaging in recent years. However, the typical L-1 regularization model is a biased estimation, which tends to underestimate the target intensity. Therefore, in this article, we present a 3D sparse SAR image reconstruction method combining the Cauchy penalty and improved alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The Cauchy penalty is a non-convex penalty function, which can estimate the target intensity more accurately than L-1. At the same time, the objective function maintains convexity via the convex non-convex (CNC) strategy. Compared with L-1 regularization, the proposed method can reconstruct the image more accurately and improve the image quality. Finally, three indexes suitable for SAR images are used to evaluate the performance of the method under different conditions. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
