This study investigates the use of joint sparse recovery (JSR) algorithm for coprime adjacent array (CAA) sparse imaging in three-dimensional imaging with linear array synthetic aperture radar (LASAR). Simulation and experimental results show that the JSR algorithm achieves higher imaging quality and computational efficiency compared to other algorithms.
In the linear array synthetic aperture radar (LASAR) three-dimensional (3D) imaging, the spacing between adjacent elements in the uniform linear array (ULA) must satisfy the Nyquist sampling theorem to avoid the grating lobes, which makes the number of elements in the ULA very large. To reduce the elements in the ULA, the coprime adjacent array (CAA) with the same aperture length as the ULA is used when conducting LASAR 3D sparse imaging by compressed sensing (CS) algorithms. However, due to the increased autocorrelation coefficient of the measurement matrix, there exists grating lobes interference in the CAA-SAR imaging results. To solve this problem, we propose a joint sparse recovery (JSR) algorithm for CAA-SAR 3D sparse imaging. Firstly, we conduct sparse imaging on the CAA and its two subarrays, respectively. Secondly, the imaging results of the CAA and its two subarrays are performed image segmentation by the OTSU algorithm to extract their target-areas' imaging results. Finally, we perform the image fusion by the wavelet transform on the target-areas' imaging results to obtain the final imaging results. Both simulation and experimental results indicate that the imaging quality and computational efficiency of the JSR algorithm are higher than the random sampling array (RSA) and CAA under the same number of array elements. Besides, under the same aperture length, the JSR algorithm improves the computational efficiency than the ULA without imaging-quality loss.
