From the perspective of radar signal processing, the pulse-Doppler radar signal model is mostly based on the stop-and-go model due to the short pulse propagation time. Unlike the pulse-Doppler radar, the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar takes a long time in the process of signal transmission to echo reception. During this period, the target cannot be considered to be stationary during the acquisition of the entire sweep echo, so the stop-and-go assumption in the FMCW system is no longer valid, which means that the target's motion related to the fast time must be taken into account. In the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging scenario of high-speed maneuvering targets, the frequency offset correction introduced by the target's motion becomes reasonably complicated that it is difficult to restore the usual ISAR signal processing. In this work, a new method based on phase retrieval and image contrast-based autofocus (ICBA) is proposed to address the complex problem of motion compensation for FMCW ISAR systems. To cope with the fast time-varying characteristics of the phase error and the higher number of phase terms relative to pulsed radars, the proposed algorithm performs fine compensation with higher accuracy, resulting in high-resolution and autofocus imaging. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Riemannian proximal stochastic gradient descent for sparse 2DPCA

Zhuan Zhang, Shuisheng Zhou, Dong Li, Ting Yang

Summary: Sparse two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA) is an effective dimensionality reduction technique widely used in face recognition. The Manifold Proximal Gradient Algorithm (ManPG) is efficient and robust for solving the non-convex and non-smooth optimization problem of sparse 2DPCA, but its computational complexity is high. In order to reduce this complexity, the Riemannian Proximal Stochastic Gradient Descent algorithm (RPSGD) is proposed, which maintains sublinear convergence and offers advantages in large-scale sparse 2DPCA applications.

Summary: This paper proposes a new method for achieving 3D ISAR imaging using the superposition of different plane spiral OAM waves. By introducing eigenmode beam steering techniques, deriving an ISAR imaging model and analyzing echo characteristics, and proposing an effective imaging method based on amplitude phase compensation and fast tensor-SL0 reconstruction algorithm, the paper solves the problem of 3D sparse imaging. Simulations show that the proposed method significantly reduces computational complexity and removes sidelobes and artifacts remarkably from sparse measurements.

The k-sparse LSR for subspace clustering via 0-1 integer programming

Ting Yang, Shuisheng Zhou, Zhuan Zhang

Summary: Subspace clustering is a technique for clustering high-dimensional data. Least squares regression (LSR) is a classical subspace clustering model, but it lacks sparsity and is sensitive to noise and data dimension. In this paper, a new method called KSL SR is introduced, which solves the optimization problem of LSR directly using 0-1 integer programming. The proposed method has both k-sparsity and grouping effect, making it robust to noise and data dimension.

Summary: The performance of traditional synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging methods is limited by system bandwidth and affected by target motion state. To address this problem, we propose a high-resolution moving targets SAR imaging method based on Omega-k and Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) phase retrieval (PR) technology, which achieves PR through alternating iteration between time and 2-D frequency domains. Experimental results using simulation and measured data validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
