A smooth procession cone parameter
estimation method based on high-resolution ISAR imaging mainly solves the problems that joint
estimation on cone geometrical parameters and motion parameters in the parameter
estimation process of a smooth cone is difficult to carry out, and the calculated amount is large and the needed
prior information amount is large in narrow-band imaging and parameter estimation. The method includes the steps of 1, obtaining frequency in ISAR recording, namely, a slowness-
time domain echo, 2, estimating the number of Doppler
ambiguity times of the echo by utilizing a
curve fitting method, 3, compensating the number of Doppler
ambiguity times of the echo, 4, correcting range walk of the echo, 5, carrying out the ISAR imaging on echo data by utilizing a matched filtering method, and accurately estimating position information of a scattering center, and 6, carrying out the joint estimation on cone sizes,
radar sights and angles of
precession by utilizing a least square fitting method. The smooth procession cone parameter estimation method has the advantages of being easy to operate, high in estimation accuracy, small in amount of needed
prior information, and capable of carrying out the joint estimation on the cone geometrical parameters and the motion parameters.
