Fast Isar Image Simulation of Targets at Arbitrary Aspect Angles Using a Novel Sbr Method

چکیده
We present an efficient way to generate the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image of a target at an arbitrary aspect angle using the shooting and bouncing ray (SBR) method, which is much faster than the conventional approach by inverse Fourier transforming the computed scattered fields over frequency and aspect domain. We propose a general image-domain ray-tube integration formula, which contains aspect-dependent factors. The new formula can provide ISAR images of a target rapidly and conveniently in different image planes at different aspect angles in a world coordinate system. The ISAR images of a cube and an aircraft for several aspect angles and different image planes are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the general formula. The proposed method is more significant when large amount of ISAR images of a target are required to build the database for target recognition.

ISAR Image Improvement Using STFT Kernel Width Optimization Based On Minimum Entropy Criterion
Nowadays, Radar systems have many applications and radar imaging is one of the most important of these applications. Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to form an image from moving targets. Conventional methods use Fourier transform to retrieve Doppler information. However, because of maneuvering of the target, the Doppler spectrum becomes time-varying and the image is blurred. Joi...

The range profile (RP) and the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image are the useful radar signatures for classifying unknown targets because they can be used regardless of daynight and weather conditions. Since classification that uses RP and ISAR is heavily dependent on flight conditions, however, much more study is required on this topic. This paper proposes an efficient method of cla...

In existing sparsity-driven inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging framework a sparse recovery (SR) algorithm is usually applied to azimuth compression to achieve high resolution in the cross-range direction. For range compression, however, direct application of an SR algorithm is not very effective because the scattering centers resolved in the high resolution range profiles at differ...

A novel range-instantaneous-Doppler (RID) algorithm of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging based on adaptive Doppler spectrum extraction is proposed in this paper. Regarding maneuvering targets, such as military aircraft, the ISAR image is blurred on cross-range domain when the range-Doppler (RD) algorithm is applied. The RID imaging method is often used to resolve the Doppler ambig...
