Paper Abstract
This paper demonstrates image enhancement for wide-angle, multi-pass three-dimensional SAR applications.
Without sufficient regularization, three-dimensional sparse-aperture imaging from realistic data-collection scenarios
results in poor quality, low-resolution images. Sparsity-based image enhancement techniques may be used
to resolve high-amplitude features in limited aspects of multi-pass imagery. Fusion of the enhanced images across
multiple aspects in an approximate GLRT scheme results in a more informative view of the target. In this paper,
we apply two sparse reconstruction techniques to measured data of a calibration top-hat and of a civilian vehicle
observed in the AFRL publicly-released 2006 Circular SAR data set. First, we employ prominent-point autofocus
in order to compensate for unknown platform motion and phase errors across multiple radar passes. Each
sub-aperture of the autofocused phase history is digitally-spotlighted (spatially low-pass filtered) to eliminate
contributions to the data due to features outside the region of interest, and then imaged with l1-regularized
least squares and CoSaMP. The resulting sparse sub-aperture images are non-coherently combined to obtain a
wide-angle, enhanced view of the target.
