A TV Forward-Looking Super-Resolution Imaging Method Based on TSVD Strategy for Scanning Radar

摘要

Because of the poor performance of the conventional total variation (TV) super-resolution imaging method in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition, a TV super-resolution imaging method based on the truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD) strategy is proposed. First, based on the regularization theory, the TV function is selected as the constraint term to construct objective function. Second, to solve the problem of noise amplification faced by the conventional TV method, this article reconstructs the objective function based on the TSVD strategy, which improves the antinoise performance by discarding small singular values of antenna convolution matrix. Finally, due to the nondifferentiable property of reconstructed objective function, this article utilizes the iterative reweighted norm (IRN) method. Since the influence of the noise is weakened by the TSVD strategy, the proposed method can achieve super-resolution imaging and contour preservation in low SNR condition. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
