Forward-looking azimuth pitching two-dimensional super-resolution imaging method for motion platform
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radar imaging, and particularly relates to a forward-looking azimuth pitching two-dimensional super-resolution imaging method for a motion platform.
Background

Super-Resolution Imaging for Real Aperture radio by Two-Dimensional resolution.2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS. IEEE,2021:6630-6633 "proposes a two-dimensional super-resolution imaging Method based on sparse Alternating Direction multiplier (ADMM), which uses regularized 1 norm constraint and uses ADMM Method to solve, improving the two-dimensional resolution of RAR, but the Method is only effective for fixed platform, but is difficult to realize airborne moving platform radar azimuth pitching two-dimensional resolution.
