In this paper, a novel high-resolution SA ISAR imaging algorithm based on sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) is proposed, which can effectively incorporate the MTRC compensation and SA imaging simultaneously. In the scheme, the SA imaging is modeled as an inversion process of a linear problem with sparse prior, where chirp-Fourier dictionary is constructed to describe the MTRC during rotational motion. Then, the sparse signal recovery problem is solved using variational Bayesian inference (VBI) algorithm. Experiments on simulated and measured data confirm the effectiveness of the proposal.","PeriodicalId":331510,"journal":{"name":"2022 3rd China International SAR Symposium (CISS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114399740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quadratic performance index of the control variable represents the optimization index of path planning to ensure the optimal fuel consumption. Then, a linear discrete relative orbital dynamic model under the J2 perturbation is constructed. Regarding the dynamic constraints and the prevention of inter-satellite collisions as basic constraints, the path planning problem of configuration transformation is solved as a discretized convex programming problem. The SCP is introduced to realize iterated optimal planning. This algorithm reduces the computational complexity while developing the high control precision.

Recent methods exploit oriented bounding boxes (OBB) to represent oriented objects accurately. However, airplane targets in different orientations appear very differently in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to the complicated imaging mechanism and various scattering conditions. Most SAR image datasets for airplanes are annotated with horizontal bounding boxes (HBB) and related research focuses on HBB without orientation information. This paper proposes a method for predicting the orientation of airplane targets in SAR images based on keypoints detection. Specifically, the object detection module is adopted to generate proposal regions of airplane targets in the first stage. Then, the proposal regions are utilized in the orientation prediction module to detect the head and tail of an airplane. The proposed method provides semantic orientation information for airplane targets in SAR images labeled by HBB. The experiments are conducted on Gaofen-3 (GF-3) dataset with labels of aircraft keypoints, and the accuracy of orientation estimation is achieved 85.8%. The Mean Average orientation Error is 18.24°. Furthermore, the orientation estimation model is applied on SAR Aircraft Detection Dataset (SADD) to supplement orientation information for airplane targets.","PeriodicalId":331510,"journal":{"name":"2022 3rd China International SAR Symposium (CISS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127978114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
