3-D imaging of high-speed moving space target

Abstract

The high-speed moving of space targets introduces distortion and migration to range profile, which will have a negative effect on three-dimensional (3-D) imaging of targets. In this paper, based on parametric sparse representation, a 3-D imaging method for high-speed moving space target is proposed. First, the impact of high speed on range profile is analyzed. Then, based on L-shaped three-antenna interferometric system, a dynamic joint parametric sparse representation model of echoes from three antennas is established. The dictionary matrix is refined by iterative estimation of velocity. Finally, interferometric processing is conducted to obtain the 3-D image of target scatterers. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
