Integration of Super-Resolution ISAR Imaging and Fine Motion Compensation for Complex Maneuvering Ship Targets Under High Sea State

Under high sea state, ship targets make complex maneuvering motions due to strong disturbances such as sea waves and sea winds. Selecting the optimal imaging time interval to shorten the coherent processing interval (CPI) can reduce the complexity of motion errors, but the imaging resolution is affected as well, i.e., the motion error complexity and imaging resolution are constrained by each other. To address this problem, this article proposes a novel inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging framework for complex maneuvering ship targets to achieve the integration of super-resolution (SR) ISAR imaging and fine motion compensation (ISRFMC) under high sea state. With regard to the complex maneuvering motion of ship targets, we analyze the motion errors caused by the time-variant rotational velocity and imaging projection plane (IPP) on the echo signals, respectively, and a fine phase error model is established to uniformly represent the dual time-variant characteristic (DTVC) of complex maneuvering ship targets. Moreover, a deformed Akaike information criterion (DAIC) is developed to realize the adaptive selection of the phase error model with the image sharpness as the objective function. Underpinned by the Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS) theory, the SR ISAR imaging can be realized by solving a sparsity-driven optimization problem via a modified quasi-Newton solver. Particularly, the fine phase errors are constructed as the model errors of image reconstruction, and the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is utilized to solve the maximum image sharpness optimization problem in order to perform the joint fine motion compensation and azimuth scaling (JFMCAS). ISRFMC or the integration of SR ISAR imaging and fine motion compensation can be achieved through alternate iteration, so as to obtain well-focused and scaled high-resolution ISAR images of complex maneuvering ship targets under high sea state. Extensive experiments based on both simulated and real data verify that the proposed algorithm is capable of addressing the conflict between imaging resolution and motion error complexity under high sea state.
