description | Array three-dimensional (3D) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging has been used for 3D modeling of urban buildings and diagnosis of target scattering characteristics, and represents one of the significant directions in SAR development in recent years. However, sparse driven 3D imaging methods usually only capture the sparse features of the imaging scene, which can result in the loss of the structural information of the target and cause bias effects, affecting the imaging quality. To address this issue, we propose a novel array 3D SAR imaging method based on composite sparse and low-rank prior (SLRP), which can achieve high-quality imaging even with limited observation data. Firstly, an imaging optimization model based on composite SLRP is established, which captures both sparse and low-rank features simultaneously by combining non-convex regularization functions and improved nuclear norm (INN), reducing bias effects during the imaging process and improving imaging accuracy. Then, the framework that integrates variable splitting and alternative minimization (VSAM) is presented to solve the imaging optimization problem, which is suitable for high-dimensional imaging scenes. Finally, the performance of the method is validated through extensive simulation and real data experiments. The results indicate that the proposed method can significantly improve imaging quality with limited observational data. |
