Item Open Access A particle swarm optimization based SAR motion compensation algorithm for target image reconstruction(IEEE, 2010) Uğur, Salih; Arıkan, OrhanA new SAR motion compensation algorithm is proposed for robust reconstruction of target images even under large deviations of the platform from intended flight path. Phase error due to flight path deviations is estimated as a solution to an optimization problem in terms of the positions of the reflectivity centers of the target. Particle swarm optimization is used to obtain phase error estimates efficiently. The quality of the reconstructions is demonstrated by using simulation studies. © 2010 IEEE.Item Open Access SAR image reconstruction and autofocus by compressed sensing(Elsevier, 2012-07-24) Ugur, S.; Arıkan, OrhanA new SAR signal processing technique based on compressed sensing is proposed for autofocused image reconstruction on subsampled raw SAR data. It is shown that, if the residual phase error after INS/GPS corrected platform motion is captured in the signal model, then the optimal autofocused image formation can be formulated as a sparse reconstruction problem. To further improve image quality, the total variation of the reconstruction is used as a penalty term. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed technique in wide-band SAR systems, the measurements used in the reconstruction are formed by a new under-sampling pattern that can be easily implemented in practice by using slower rate A/D converters. Under a variety of metrics for the reconstruction quality, it is demonstrated that, even at high under-sampling ratios, the proposed technique provides reconstruction quality comparable to that obtained by the classical techniques which require full-band data without any under-sampling.
