Sparse Radar Imaging Based on L(1/2) Regularization Theory

Abstract:It has been in great need of radar imaging under sampling rate of Nyquist’s for various earth observing applications. Compressed sensing provides a possible solution. It, however, reconstructs signals depending upon the use of observation matrix and requires much higher computation cost than conventional radar system, impeding its practical application. The awardees established an L(1/2) regularization theory, showing that L(1/2)- regularization can reconstruct sparse signals with much lower sampling rate, is the unique sparsest scheme with explicitly closed-form solution among L(p)(0<P<1)REGULARIZATIONS, P < applicability. general its showing astrophysics, and astronomy science, brain medical unmixing, hyperspectral processing, image learning, machine tracking, robot sensing, traffic urban control, optimization system power detection, circuit integrated signal seismic bioinformatics, communication, wireless imaging, molecular CT as such areas, many to applied successfully been already has theory regularization 2) L(1 The system. radar sparse based the of prospective bright feasibility support airborne with applications Experiments time. first in built was prototype principle a which system, evaluation design for developed further methodology diagram phase 3D A scenes. large use practical road paves thus algorithms, imaging existing compared O(N*log(N)), O(N^2) from iteration single complexity computational reduces simulator, echo while matrix observation referring directly without proposed also method simulator particular. new paradigm processing information novel provides solvers. fast admits>
