Backprojection Autofocus for Synthetic Aperture Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
In synthetic aperture radar (SAR), many adverse conditions may cause errors in the raw phase-history data. Autofocus methods are commonly used in SAR to mitigate the effects of these problems. Over the years, many types of autofocus have algorithms have been created, however, each has implicit assumptions restricting their use. The backprojection image formation algorithm places few restrictions on SAR imaging, thus it is desirable to have an autofocus algorithm that is similarly unconstrained. This paper presents a versatile autofocus method that is accordant with backprojection.

A New Factorized Backprojection Algorithm for Stripmap Synthetic Aperture Radar
Factorized backprojection is a processing algorithm for reconstructing images from data collected by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. Factorized backprojection requires less computation than conventional time-domain backprojection with minimal loss in accuracy for straight-line motion. However, its implementation is not as straightforward as direct backprojection. This paper provides a n...
متن کاملAutofocus of Multi-band, Shallow-water Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery using Shear-averaging
Abstract— A significant problem with Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imaging is the compensation of compensating for unknown errors in the sonar path trajectory. Unknown path errors in SAS have the effect of blurring and smearing the sea-floor image. Inertial navigation systems as used in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), are not accurate enough for use in SAS. To deal with this problem, technique...
متن کاملA fast autofocus algorithm for synthetic aperture radar processing
Synthetic Aperture Radar ( S A R ) has become a valuable instrument with applications in reconnaissance and remote sensing. High resolution SAR imaging requires the motion of the radar platform to be known very accurately. Otherwise phase errors are induced in the processing of the raw S A R data, and bad focusing results. In particular, a constant error in the measured along track velocity or ...

The Stage By Stage Approaching (SSA) entropy minimization approach to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) autofocus is a modern and innovative technique, which has not been compared with other approaches, to date. We provide such a comparison and show that SSA is a most promising autofocus method. In this paper, we evaluate the merit of this algorithm through comparison with the established Phase Gr...
