Radar Forward-looking Super-resolution Imaging Method Based on Sparse and Low-rank Priors
-
摘要: 在精确制导、自主着陆、地形测绘等多种领域,雷达前视成像至关重要。传统的基于实波束扫描的前视成像方法受到实际雷达孔径约束难以获得高分辨图像。与整个成像场景相比,感兴趣目标通常只占一小部分区域,这种稀疏性使得压缩感知(CS)可以应用于高分辨率前视图像重建。然而,雷达回波中的强噪声影响了基于CS方法生成图像质量。受到最终生成图像具有低秩特性的启发,该文建立了一种联合低秩和稀疏特性的前视超分辨成像模型。为了有效地解决所提模型中的双重约束优化问题,提出了一种在交替方向乘子法(ADMM)框架下基于增广拉格朗日乘子(ALM)的前视图像重构方法。仿真和实测数据实验结果表明,所提方法能够有效提高雷达前视成像的方位分辨率,并且具有较强噪声鲁棒性。

Abstract: Radar forward-looking imaging is important in many fields, such as precision guidance, autonomous landing, and terrain mapping. Due to the constraints of actual radar aperture, obtaining high-resolution images using the traditional forward-looking imaging method based on real beam scanning is challenging. Compared with the entire imaging scene, the objects of interest usually occupy only a small part of the area. This sparsity enables the use of Compressed Sensing(CS) to reconstruct high-resolution forward-looking images. However, the high noise in the radar echo affects the quality of the image generated by the compressed sensing method. Inspired by the low-rank property of the final image, this paper proposes a forward-looking super-resolution imaging model that combines sparse and low-rank properties. To effectively solve the dual constraint optimization problem in the proposed model, a forward-looking image reconstruction method based on an Augmented Lagrange Multiplier(ALM) within the framework of the Alternating Direction Multiplier Method(ADMM) was proposed. Finally, the experimental results from simulation and real data show that the proposed method can effectively improve the azimuth resolution of radar forward-looking imaging while also being noise-robust. -
