Abstract

The invention discloses a sub-aperture partition PFA (Polar Format Algorithm) radar imaging method, and belongs to the technical field of radar imaging. All apertures are partitioned into a plurality of sub-apertures; the sub-apertures are processed by using PFA to obtain azimuthal low-resolution images; movement error of the sub-aperture images is eliminated by using PGA (Phase Gradient Autofocus) processing; geometric distortion is eliminated through azimuthal up-sampling, space varying filter and geometric correction; partitioned sub-blocks with overlapped images of all the sub-aperture images obtained by the geometric correction are subjected to image registration; finally all the registered sub-aperture images are fused to obtain a final SAR image. The full-aperture data of a large block is partitioned into sub-aperture data of small blocks for processing, so that the imaging processing efficiency is improved; the partitioned sub-blocks with overlapped images are registered during implementation of the sub-aperture image registration, so that the registration of the entire images can be realized better and seamless splicing of the sub-blocks can also be realized after registration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a synthetic aperture radar (synthetic aperture radar, referred to as SAR) imaging processing algorithm, in particular to a sub-aperture PFA radar imaging method, which belongs to the technical field of radar imaging. Background technique [0002] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an all-weather and all-weather microwave imaging radar. Its high resolution makes it irreplaceable in military and civilian fields. Imaging algorithm is the core of SAR signal processing to achieve high resolution. Among many SAR imaging algorithms, Polar Format Algorithm (PFA) has the advantages of imaging efficiency, compensation for non-coplanar flight of radar platform, and correction of linear distance walking of moving targets. It has attracted much attention for its excellent performance. However, the classic PFA processing is to process the full-aperture full-block data, and there is a wavefront bending approximation, which limits the geometri...
