The invention discloses a space target ISAR imaging and calibration integration method based on translation and rotation parameter joint
estimation, and relates to the technical field of
remote sensing and
radar imaging. The method aims to solve the problems that in existing space target ISAR imaging, rotation parameter
estimation is affected by motion compensation, and space target scattering points are likely to walk over a distance unit under long-time accumulation. According to the method, distance compression is performed on echoes acquired by a ground-based
radar, generalized
Radon Fourier transform is performed after a one-dimensional distance
image sequence is acquired, and then phase coefficients of all orders of echo signals are estimated; calculating a module value and a compensation
signal of an effective rotation
angular velocity of the spatial uniform-speed rotation target by using the estimated value; carrying out translation compensation on the
echo signal by using the compensation
signal, converting the compensated
echo signal from a Cartesian coordinate
system to a polar coordinate
system by using the effective rotation
angular velocity, and carrying out interpolation; and performing distance and orientation compression on the interpolation result to obtain an imaging result, and completing calibration according to the effective rotation
angular velocity to realize integration of space target ISAR imaging and calibration.
