Abstract:
The dual-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system is widely applied in the field of ground moving-target indication (GMTI). With the increase of the imaging resolution, the resulting substantial raw data samples increase the transmission and storage burden. We tackle the problem by adopting the joint sparsity model 1 (JSM-1) in distributed compressed sensing (DCS) to exploit the correlation between the two channels of the dual-channel SAR system. We propose a novel algorithm, namely the hierarchical variational Bayesian based distributed compressed sensing (HVB-DCS) algorithm for the JSM-1 model, which decouples the common component from the innovation components by applying variational Bayesian approximation. Using the proposed HVB-DCS algorithm in the dual-channel SAR based GMTI (SAR-GMTI) system, we can jointly reconstruct the dual-channel signals, and simultaneously detect the moving targets and stationary clutter, which enables sampling at a further lower rate in azimuth as well as improves the reconstruction accuracy. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed HVB-DCS algorithm is capable of detecting multiple moving targets while suppressing the clutter at a much lower data rate in azimuth compared with the compressed sensing (CS) and range-Doppler (RD) algorithms.
