摘要: 常规SAR成像,平台沿直线飞行,形成直线型合成孔径,仅能获取2维图像,即3维空间中的观测场景在斜距-方位平面的2维投影,图像具有叠掩、透视缩短、阴影等畸变现象。SAR 3维成像突破了斜距-方位2维频率信息获取,能够获取第3维频率信息,实现3维分辨,可获得观测场景的散射中心在3维空间中的分布,从而解决叠掩问题,消除透视缩短、顶底倒置等几何形变现象,更直观地描述客观场景,已成为国际研究热点。该文介绍SAR 3维成像的概念和主要观测模式,分析该领域国内外研究现状和进展,重点阐述作者所在研究团队的SAR 3维成像研究进展,最后对SAR 3维成像技术进行总结和展望。Abstract: Conventional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) moves along a straight line and forms a linear synthetic apertures. It can only obtain the two-dimensional (2-D) image of illuminated scene that is the projection of the three-dimensional (3-D) real scene onto a slant plane. The slant plane 2-D SAR image, however, suffers from layover and foreshortening effects. 3-D SAR imaging enables 3-D resolving capability by extending the acquisition of frequency information from 2-D to 3-D. It can obtain the 3-D distribution of scattering centers; therefore, it solves the geometric deformation problems of layover and foreshortening. 3-D SAR imaging has become a trending topic in research on SAR techniques worldwide. In this paper, we first introduced the concept of 3-D SAR imaging and several typical 3-D SAR imaging modes. Furthermore, it provides a discussion on research progress at home and abroad, particularly focusing on the progress of our research team. Finally, future research prospects are presented.
