The application discloses a compressive correlation imaging method and
system with
large field of view imaging capability, and belongs to the technical field of space active imaging. The method uses a
fisheye lens 13 and a
CCD camera 14 to perform fast
large field of view imaging on an imaging area, and obtains a
large field of view imaging result Fig; N existing regions {A1, A2,..., A i ,…,A N} of the measured objects are determined according to the imaging result Fig; compressive correlation imaging is performed in the regions {A1, A2,..., A i ,…,A N}, and N imaging results {fig1, fig2,..., fig i ,…,fig N} are obtained. The application has the beneficial effects that: (1) the whole to-be-measured region is coarsely imaged by using large
field of view imaging, compressive correlation imaging is performed only on the regions where the objects exist, the imaging time can be shortened, the imaging efficiency is improved, and the imaging region is not repeatedly scanned or missed; (2) the
signal-to-
noise ratio of echo signals is improved, and the detection distance is improved; and (3) the
staring imaging time can be shortened by using a compressive correlation imaging
reconstruction algorithm, and the imaging efficiency is improved.
