This paper proposes a processing method to extend monostatic imaging algorithms for the azimuth invariant bistatic SAR (BISAR) data where the transmitter and the receiver move on parallel tracks with equal velocities. The bistatic range history is approached by a polynomial of the azimuth time. Based on this model, an analytic 2-D signal spectrum derived by the method of series reversion is utilized and a simple one-to-one mapping between the transmitter and the receiver closest ranges is established. In this way, efficient monostatic imaging algorithms which operate in the 2-D frequency domain or the range-Doppler domain are easily modified to handle the BISAR data. In this paper, a chirp scaling algorithm for the BISAR is developed as an application of the new method. By implementing two key operations, range cell migration correction by a chirp scaling, and azimuth compression by a curve fitting technique, this algorithm is able to process the azimuth invariant BISAR data. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the validity and the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. 相似文献

A simple and exact solution for the interferometric and stereo SAR geolocation problem 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
This paper provides a closed-form solution to the geolocation problem arising in the generation of digital elevation models (DEMs) via both stereo and interferometric synthetic aperture radar techniques. The proposed solution is found with no approximations in an arbitrary Cartesian reference system, thus efficiently allowing the generation of DEMs in a chosen cartographic projection. Moreover, it is amenable of an easy and precise sensitivity analysis that exploits the full three-dimensional nature of the problem, thus being particularly useful when high-squinted and/or crossed-track acquisitions are considered. 相似文献

A time-domain raw signal Simulator for interferometric SAR 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In this paper, we present a time-domain (TD) raw signal simulator for an interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR). We consider the case of a spaceborne SAR operating in stripmap, spotlight, and hybrid modes, but the case of an airborne SAR can be considered as well. The spaceborne platform is considered as traveling on its nominal (Keplerian) orbit, and the targets are located on an ellipsoidal earth. We describe an accurate TD simulator, highlighting its usefulness in studying the effects on the SAR impulse response and on images from targets with limited extension due to operational conditions different from the nominal one. 相似文献

SAR interferograms are affected by a strong noise component which often prevents correct phase unwrapping and always impairs the phase reconstruction accuracy. To obtain satisfactory performance, most filtering techniques exploit prior information by means of ad hoc, empirical strategies. In this paper, we recast phase filtering as a Bayesian estimation problem in which the image prior is modeled as a suitable Markov random field, and the filtered phase field is the configuration with maximum a posteriori probability. Assuming the image to be residue free and generally smooth, a two-component MRF model is adopted, where the first component penalizes residues, while the second one penalizes discontinuities. Constrained aimulated annealing is then used to find the optimal solution. The experimental analysis shows that, by gradually adjusting the MRF parameters, the algorithm filters out most of the high-frequency noise and, in the limit, eliminates all residues, allowing for a trivial phase unwrapping. Given a limited processing time, the algorithm is still able to eliminate most residues, paving the way for the successful use of any subsequent phase unwrapping technique. 相似文献

We present an adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filtering approach, which is referred to as the Amplitude and Phase EStimation (APES) algorithm, for interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. We compare the APES algorithm with other FIR filtering approaches including the Capon and fast Fourier transform (FFT) methods. We show via both numerical and experimental examples that the adaptive FIR filtering approaches such as Capon and APES can yield more accurate spectral estimates with much lower sidelobes and narrower spectral peaks than the FFT method. We show that although the APES algorithm yields somewhat wider spectral peaks than the Capon method, the former gives more accurate overall spectral estimates and SAR images than the latter and the FFT method. 相似文献

Options for airborne interferometric SAR motion compensation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Airborne interferometric SAR (InSAR) has the potential to provide topographic data with a precision of the order of one metre. However, to generate data accurate to this level it is essential to measure and compensate for nonlinear motion of the two antennas which constitute the interferometric baseline. Conventional motion compensation techniques are extended to the two-channel imaging scenario of InSAR. Phase compensation of both channels to the same reference track and compensation to two separate tracks are considered and modeled using point target simulation, and real InSAR data. The single track approach allows track segmentation to follow aircraft drifts without causing discontinuities in the differential phase, but is sensitive to range cell migration effects. The dual track approach is not sensitive to these errors but suffers from discontinuous differential phase at segmentation boundaries, which complicates the phase unwrapping process. A new formulation for each approach is presented that compensates for unknown terrain coupled with low frequency aircraft motion. In addition, a new approach that uses the dual track approach initially and then converts to a single reference track after compression is proposed. This realizes the benefits of both approaches with only a small increase in computation 相似文献

Besides the general processing technique, this article focuses on the methods of flat-earth phase removal, phase noise reduction and phase unwrapping. The availability is tested by the results of processing ERS-1/2 SAR images. 相似文献

Topographic mapping with spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) using an interferometric technique is studied. Included is a review of the equations for determination of terrain elevation from the phase difference between a pair of SAR images formed from data collected at two differing imaging geometries. This paper builds upon the systems analysis of Li and Goldstein in which image pair decorrelation as a function of the “baseline” separation between the receiving antennas was first analyzed. In this paper correlation and topographic height error variance models are developed based on a SAR image model derived from a tomographic image formation perspective. The models are general in the sense that they are constructed to analyze the case of single antenna, two-pass interferometry with arbitrary antenna line of sight, and velocity vector directions. Correlation and height error variance sensitivity to SAR system parameters and terrain gradients are studied 相似文献

Analyzes a spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for high-resolution, topographic applications. Two physical antennas are vertically spaced and are carried along parallel paths by two different platforms connected by a tether. Tethered space systems have been proposed by several authors for different applications and a joint US-Italian program exists to deploy in 1992 a small satellite (Tethered Satellite System) from a Space Shuttle. A system performance analysis is carried out, considering a theoretical study and a numerical simulation. By evaluating the tethered interferometric SAR impulse response, the height of various point scatterers is computed and an error budget is obtained. Results show that this system is capable of achieving a root-mean-square (RMS) error in height measurement adequate for several applications 相似文献

Intensity-driven adaptive-neighborhood technique for polarimetric and interferometric SAR parameters estimation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

In this paper, a new method to filter coherency matrices of polarimetric or interferometric data is presented. For each pixel, an adaptive neighborhood (AN) is determined by a region growing technique driven exclusively by the intensity image information. All the available intensity images of the polarimetric and interferometric terms are fused in the region growing process to ensure the validity of the stationarity assumption. Afterward, all the pixels within the obtained AN are used to yield the filtered values of the polarimetric and interferometric coherency matrices, which can be derived either by direct complex multilooking or from the locally linear minimum mean-squared error (LLMMSE) estimator. The entropy/alpha/anisotropy decomposition is then applied to the estimated polarimetric coherency matrices, and coherence optimization is performed on the estimated polarimetric and interferometric coherency matrices. Using this decomposition, unsupervised classification for land applications by an iterative algorithm based on a complex Wishart density function is also applied. The method has been tested on airborne high-resolution polarimetric interferometric synthetic aperture radar (POL-InSAR) images (Oberpfaffenhofen area-German Space Agency). For comparison purposes, the two estimation techniques (complex multilooking and LLMMSE) were tested using three different spatial supports: a fix-sized symmetric neighborhood (boxcar filter), directional nonsymmetric windows, and the proposed AN. Subjective and objective performance analysis, including coherence edge detection, receiver operating characteristics plots, and bias reduction tables, recommends the proposed algorithm as an effective POL-InSAR postprocessing technique. 相似文献

Several optimal techniques exist to reduce speckle effects on polarimetric data, e.g. the Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) vector filter for multilook detected data or optimum summations such as the Polarimetric Whitening Filter (PWF) for one look complex data. Among other drawbacks, these standard methods do not preserve full polarimetric data, or they do not use the a priori texture distribution, or they are restricted to one look data. In the simplified case of data satisfying the so-called “product model”, new optimal techniques are described in this paper that are able to reduce speckle effects on multilook data, while preserving fully polarimetric information and texture variations. This “product model” is valid when the scene texture has a large scale of variation and is polarization independent, for instance in K-distributed clutter. Under this assumption, the measured covariance matrix (multilook data) is the product of a scalar random variable μ (the texture) and the covariance matrix Czh of an equivalent Gaussian homogeneous surface. Czh is the mean covariance matrix and contains the polarimetric information. A PWF for multilook complex data (MPWF) is proposed and is shown to be related to optimal statistical estimators of the texture (Maximum Likelihood, Maximum A Posteriori, MMSE…) when the complex Wishart distribution is used. The ML estimation of C zh for textured areas is given and the adaptive filters based on these new tools are described. The results indicate a large speckle reduction. Moreover, the mean values of polarimetric features such as the magnitude and the phase of the HH-VV complex degree of coherence are preserved 相似文献

A method is described to predict the wavenumber dependence of the speckle component in spectra of synthetic aperture radar intensity images. Filtering of this component is an important step in recovering waveheight spectra for synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images of the ocean, and an effective means of doing so is required for the 'wave mode' of the European satellite ERS-1. The method uses the correlation function of the corresponding complex images and has been tested using a variety of airborne and spaceborne imagery obtained over both land and sea. Examples are shown of both successful and unsuccessful applications of the method.<> 相似文献
