Flight path strategies for 3-D scene reconstruction from bistatic sar - Radar, Sonar and Navigation, IEE Proceedings -
نویسنده
چکیده
Proper design of receiver flight paths allows three-dimensional information to be encoded in sensed bistatic SAR phase history data. The authors show how the flight path taken by the receiving platform determines the resolution of nonparametric scene reconstructions and determines the variance of three-dimensional scattering centre location parameter estimates. Based on these relationships, a bistatic SAR data collection strategy can be designed, involving a nonlinear receiver trajectory that allows preservation of three-dimensional scene information.

Chirp-Scaling based True Amplitude Imaging for Synthetic Aperture Radar
The Chirp-Scaling Algorithm (CSA) is one of the most widely used synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image reconstruction method. However, its applicability is limited to straight flight trajectories and monostatic SAR. We present a new mathematical treatment of the CSA from the perspective of Fourier Integral Operators theory. Our treatment leads to a chirp-scaling-based true amplitude imaging algo...
متن کاملLow-complexity sparse reconstruction for high-resolution multi-static passive SAR imaging
Bistatic passive synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems using ground broadcast and wireless network signals suffer from low spatial resolution due to the narrow bandwidths and low carrier frequencies. By exploiting multiple distributed illuminators, multi-static passive radar has the possibility of producing high-resolution SAR images. In this paper, a two-stage image formation approach, which ...

The authors provide a new geometrical approach for the inversion of a two-layer coherent scattering model, widely used for the interpretation of polarimetric interferometric S A R data. It has been shown in several recent publications that, by using interferograms in multiple polarisation channels, estimation of vegetation height, underlying ground topography and mean extinction is possible. Fu...

Three-dimensional synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging of vehicles in urban setting are made possible by new data collection capabilities, in which airborne radar systems interrogate a large scene persistently and over a large range of aspect angles. Wide-angle 3-D reconstructions of vehicles can be useful in applications such as automatic target recognition (ATR) and fingerprinting. The back...
متن کاملStudy of the statistical performance of the Pisarenko harmonic decomposition method - Radar and Signal Processing [see also IEE Proceedings-Radar, Sonar and Navigation], IEE Proceeding
A self-contained statistical analysis of the Pisarenko method for estimating sinusoidal frequencies from signal measurements corrupted by white noise is presented. An explicit formula is provided for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the joint estimation errors of the minimum eigenvalue and the minimum eigenfilter coefficients of the data covariance matrix. Our theoretical results extend and ...
