Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) plays an important role in modern remote sensing for its characteristics of all weather, all day-and-night, zero casualty, flying flexibility, and low cost. However, the atmospheric turbulence will cause motion errors to UAV SAR, resulting in unmodeled phase errors. The phase errors will degrade the focusing quality of the image and bring difficulties to the recognition task. Meanwhile, it is difficult for a convolution neural network (CNN) to extract and utilize the back-scattering information for target recognition. To this end, a novel defocusing adaptive complex CNN (DA-CCNN) is proposed, which can realize the overall computation of the network in the complex-valued data domain and effectively extract the phase history information of the complex-valued data. Furthermore, it is the first time that the image entropy metric is introduced into the fully complex deep neural network to improve the focusing quality of the image and the interpretability of the network. The experiment is carried out using the benchmark dataset of MSTAR 10. In order to simulate the defocused images generated by UAV SAR and certify the robustness to phase errors, datasets with the contamination are also applied. The results show that on the benchmark data, the recognition accuracy of DA-CCNN is comparable to that of the existing methods. On the data with phase errors, DA-CCNN shows stronger robustness and higher accuracy in terms of recognition than the reported networks.

Over the past few decades, with the rapid development of global aerospace and aerial remote sensing technology, the types of sensors have evolved from the traditional monomodal sensors (e.g., optical sensors) to the new generation of multimodal sensors (e.g., multispectral, hyperspectral, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors). These advanced devices can dynamically provide various and abundant multimodal remote sensing images (MRSIs) with different spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions according to different application requirements. Since then, it is of great scientific significance to carry out the research of MRSI registration, which is a crucial step for integrating the complementary information among multimodal data and making comprehensive observations and analysis of the Earth’s surface. In this work, we will present our own contributions to the field of multimodal image registration, summarize the advantages and limitations of existing multimodal image registration methods, and then discuss the remaining challenges and make a forward-looking prospect for the future development of the field.

In this article, we proposed a phase unwrapping (PU) method which combines with unscented Kalman filter, pixel classification, and an efficient path-following strategy. The characteristics of the proposed method are summarized as: 1) the path-following strategy speeds up the process of PU without decreasing the accuracy; 2) the reliability of each pixel will be graded according to the position of residue and pixel classification strategy; and 3) different from the traditional methods, the proposed method can perform filtering and PU at the same time to prevent global propagation of error. In addition, we also introduce a signal model which can obtain a similar correlation map by only using a wrapped phase image when without the primary-secondary image. The results on synthetic data and real data show that the proposed method can obtain better results.

In this article, a fragility-free prescribed performance control (PPC) approach is proposed for unknown disturbed nonaffine systems with application to flight control of waverider aerocraft (WA). The main improvement is to develop a prescribed funnel containing additional readjusting terms, which is able to autonomously readjust its shape, such that the tracking error, whose value may increase due to parametric perturbations and external disturbances, is always constrained within the prescribed funnel, capable of guaranteeing, for any initial system condition, 1) avoidance of security fragility problem associated with the existing PPC; 2) finite-time prescribed performance concerning tracking errors; and 3) independent of affine model formulation and function approximation. Finally, the addressed design is applied to WA, and compared simulations with practical examples are presented to show the superiority.

In this article, an improved model predictive static programming (MPSP)-based fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme is proposed to solve the attitude tracking control problem of the hypersonic vehicle (HSV). In the field of HSV, the MPSP technique has been applied successfully to solve guidance problems of its high computational efficiency. While we try to address the attitude control problem directly using it. The attitude model of HSV with uncertainty and disturbance, together with the fault model of aircraft body injury, is constructed first. The actuator of HSV is suffering from input constraints. Then, a feasible attitude control trajectory is generated by the improved MPSP method. The methodological innovation in this article extends the MPSP technique to the direct control of the attitude of HSV both in the fixed and flexible final time. By utilizing the improved MPSP technique, the complexity of processing multiple constraints and the computation is reduced. The effectiveness of the designed FTC scheme is demonstrated through simulation under different cases with actuator constraints.

Nowadays, most of the mobile mapping systems (MMSs) use global navigation satellite system (GNSS)/inertial navigation system positioning technology and 2-D sensors to construct maps, self-localize, and gather environmental information, as well. Several problems can arise with traditional architectures of these systems, especially in situations where the GNSS signal is unavailable or multiple paths are involved, such as reliability issues and poor accuracy. Moreover, their cost of up to U.S. $$ $
