Two-dimensional multiradar ISAR fusion imaging based on fast linearized Bregman iteration algorithm

The two-dimensional (2D) resolution is poor due to the narrow transmitting bandwidth and the limited observation angle in monostatic ISAR imaging. A multiradar fusion imaging method based on fast linearized Bregman iteration (FLBI) algorithm is proposed to improve the 2D resolution of the ISAR imaging. First, the sparsity of the ISAR imaging echo data is exploited to establish the multiradar fusion ISAR imaging model based on sparse representation, which can be converted into a one-dimensional sparse vector reconstruction problem. Then, a sparse reconstruction method based on FLBI is proposed to solve the sparse representation problem with large scales and achieve the ISAR fusion imaging. Combined with the weighted back-adding residual and condition number optimization of the sensing matrix, the FLBI algorithm can further accelerate the iterative convergence speed. The proposed algorithm only involves matrix-vector multiplications and componentwise shrinkages, which greatly improves the imaging efficiency. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the iterative convergence speed and achieve the better 2D ISAR fusion imaging.
