Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel WASAR imaging scheme, which divides the full aperture data into several overlapping sub-apertures and uses the Polar Format Algorithm (PFA) to obtain sub-images at different aspects. Finally we perform full aperture image composition via Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with a sparse regularization term. The target feature of the synthesized image is enhanced and the SNR is improved. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the novel approach.

Key words: synthetic aperture radar(SAR), non-negative matrix factorization(NMF), sparseness, sub-aperture, image fusion
