SAR Target Reconstruction Visualization Enhancement Based on Attributed Scattering Center Model

Abstract

It has important meaning for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interpretation to estimate parameters from measured SAR data and visualize the SAR imagery. For the linearity of IFFT, single scattering center can be individually imaged adaptively to form an overall image. Thus, the side effects of side lobes and windowing can be decreased and the quality of the SAR imagery can be improved. The efficiency of the method is confirmed by the test based on the simulated data.
