Focusing and Parameter Estimation of Fluctuating Targets in High Resolution Spaceborne SAR
Complex motion can cause serious defocusing phenomena in high resolution spaceborne SAR cases, which then lead to decreased image resolution. In this study, we built a simulation model to quantitatively analyze the signature and effect on maritime fluctuating targets in high resolution cases. To dea...

| Summary: | Complex motion can cause serious defocusing phenomena in high resolution spaceborne SAR cases, which then lead to decreased image resolution. In this study, we built a simulation model to quantitatively analyze the signature and effect on maritime fluctuating targets in high resolution cases. To deal with formed Single-Look Complex (SLC) SAR images containing fluctuating targets, we implement a motion-compensation and fine-focusing method to obtain refocused images and the fluctuation parameters. We demonstrate the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed approach in focusing and estimating the parameters of fluctuating targets by processing the simulation results and archived images acquired by Terra-SAR in hybrid spotlight mode. |
