Abstract:

When dealing with multi-class targets, the sparse microwave imaging method of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) based on dictionary learning has redundant information in the dictionary, which leads to a decrease in imaging accuracy. To address this problem, a discriminative sparse microwave imaging method based on structured dictionary learning (SDL) is proposed. Firstly, using SDL to train for multi-class targets, a structured dictionary containing multiple sub-dictionaries is obtained, with each sub dictionary corresponding to a specific category of targets. Secondly, a discriminative sparse microwave imaging model is constructed by combining structured dictionaries, and the representation errors of the target are distinguished based on different sub-dictionaries during the processing. Finally, based on the discrimination results, the corresponding category sub-dictionary is selected for imaging. The experimental results show that compared with existing imaging methods, the proposed algorithm can better suppress artifact blurring and improve imaging accuracy under downsampling conditions.
