It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system comprising at least one set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0021] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a frequency-modulated stepped-frequency SAR sparse reconstruction algorithm based on an approximate observation operator according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the algorithm may include the following steps: Step S101, acquiring echo data of a frequency-modulated stepped-frequency SAR, sparsely sampling the echo data of the frequency-modulated stepped-frequency SAR to obtain initial data, performing imaging processing on the initial data through a SFCW-SAR imaging algorithm to obtain an initial scene image corresponding to the initial data, estimating the initial data through a phase gradient autofocusing algorithm based on the initial scene image to obtain a phase error of the initial data, and deriving a distance error and an azimuth error of the phase error of the initial data.

[0022] In the technical solution provided in step S101 of the present invention, if Figure 1 As shown, the echo data of the frequency-modulated stepped-frequency SAR is S, and the echo data S of the frequency-modulated stepped-frequency SAR is sparsely sampled to obtain initial data, and the initial data is a sampling matrix B. The sampling matrix B is imaged by the SFCW-SAR imaging algorithm, wherein the initial data is a part of the echo data. The initial data is estimated by the Phase Gradient Autofocus algorithm (PGA) according to the initial scene image to obtain the phase error of the initial data. , derive the distance error of the phase error of the initial data and azimuth error , where the echo data S of the frequency-modulated stepped-frequency SAR is fully sampled to obtain the sampling matrix A.
