Abstract:

The size of echo signal data of the tranditional microwave three-dimensional imaging system is extremely high. Compressed sensing imaging methods based on sparse representation of target scene can reduce the sampling rate and data size, but the dictionary matrix takes a lot of memory and has a poor imaging quality for continuously distributed target. For these problems, this paper constructs an orthogonal projection wavefront reconstruction model to reconstruct the target three-dimensional spectrum, which based on the analysis of the echo data's characteristics in three-dimensional frequency domain. To further optimize the reconstruction model, the minimum image entropy is used as the criterion to optimum estimate the regularization parameters of reconstruction. The proposed method has the advantages of higher computing speed, less memory space, and better imaging quality for the continuously distributed target. The computer simulation experiment and microwave anechoic chamber measurement experiment verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
