Abstract

Traditional SAR imaging methods are based on point target scattering model, hence are not capable of recovering the shapes of distributed targets such as cylinders. The cylinder target is usually shown as two endpoints in the traditional single-angle SAR images. However, the distributed SAR can provide multi-angle observation information of the cylinder target. To improve the SAR image quality, we propose a distributed SAR imaging method for the cylinder target with a sparse distributed SAR configuration. The proposed method reconstructs the cylinder target by estimating the parameters from the SAR image, and then identity the cylinder target from the distributed SAR echo. When positive decision is made, the shape of the cylinder target can be recovered with these parameters. Numerical simulations have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
