Enhanced, high resolution radar imaging based on robust regularization

چکیده
We propose an enhanced image reconstruction method for spotlight-mode synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Our approach involves extension of feature preserving regularization techniques developed in other applications to the complex-valued SAR imaging problem. Compared to conventional image formation schemes, our approach offers increased resolvability of point-scatterers, enhancement of object shapes, reduced sidelobes and reduced speckle. We present the effectiveness of the proposed method on synthetic and real SAR scenes.

Robust Fuzzy Content Based Regularization Technique in Super Resolution Imaging
Super-resolution (SR) aims to overcome the ill-posed conditions of image acquisition. SR facilitates scene recognition from low-resolution image(s). Generally assumes that high and low resolution images share similar intrinsic geometries. Various approaches have tried to aggregate the informative details of multiple low-resolution images into a high-resolution one. In this paper, we present a n...
