Potential of the Reverse Synthesis Method for the High-Quality SAR Image Synthesis
Evgeny Shiro · 2018
A potential of a new Reverse synthesis method proposed at IGARSS 2017 for the high-quality Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image synthesis is presented. Images produced by the method are compared with the best existing approaches for the speckle noise reduction. Further capabilities for the image quality improvement like side lobe, range and azimuth reduction, contrast improvement, autofocusing and target detectability improvement are considered. The novel approach allows both: to produce high quality and high-resolution images from existing SAR raw data and to create new high-quality systems with reduced demands to the on-board equipment.
