联合结构约束与低秩重建的近场SAR改进后向投影算法

    An Enhanced Back-Projection Algorithm for Near-Field SAR via Joint Structural Constraints and Low-Rank Reconstruction

    • 摘要: 随着毫米波雷达近场成像技术在反恐安防、无损检测等领域的广泛应用,后向投影算法(Back Projection Algorithm,BPA)因成像模型精确、几何适应性强而被广泛应用于近场合成孔径雷达成像。然而,传统BPA在实际应用中易产生旁瓣、伪影及杂波噪声,且对回波数据量依赖较高,限制了其在欠采样条件下的成像性能。针对上述问题,提出一种联合图像层结构约束与数据层低秩重建的改进BPA成像算法。在图像层,引入基于低秩联合稀疏约束的正则化模型,对BPA初始成像结果进行结构保持型优化,有效抑制旁瓣、伪影及噪声干扰;在数据层,利用成像回波数据的低秩特性,提出一种基于显式正则化的鲁棒自适应秩一重建方法,实现欠采样条件下回波数据的物理一致性恢复。实验结果表明,在仅使用20%回波数据量的条件下,所提算法即可获得与完整采样BPA相当甚至更优的成像质量,验证了其在近场毫米波合成孔径雷达低数据率成像中的有效性与鲁棒性。

       

      Abstract: With the widespread application of near-field millimeter-wave radar imaging technology in counter-terrorism security inspection and nondestructive testing, the Back Projection Algorithm (BPA) has been widely adopted in near-field synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging due to its accurate imaging model and strong adaptability to complex geometries. However, in practical applications, conventional BPA is prone to sidelobes, artifacts, and clutter noise, and it exhibits a strong dependence on the amount of echo data, which significantly degrades its imaging performance under undersampled conditions. To address these issues, an improved BPA imaging algorithm that jointly integrates image-domain structural constraints and data-domain low-rank reconstruction is proposed. In the image domain, a regularization model based on low-rank joint sparsity constraints is introduced to perform structure-preserving optimization on the initial BPA image, effectively suppressing sidelobes, artifacts, and noise interference. In the data domain, by exploiting the low-rank property of the echo data, a robust adaptive rank-one reconstruction method based on explicit regularization is developed to achieve physically consistent recovery of echo data under undersampled conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that, even with only 20% of the echo data, the proposed algorithm can achieve imaging quality comparable to or even superior to that of conventional BPA with full sampling, thereby validating its effectiveness and robustness for low-data-rate near-field millimeter-wave SAR imaging.
