与传统后向投影(Back—Projection,BP)算法相比,快速分解BP(FastFactorizedBP,FFBP)算法可以大幅度提高SAR成像的处理效率,具有较强的工程价值。该文在现有FFBP算法的基础上,提出了改进FFBP算法,进一步简化处理流程并提高运算效率。改进FFBP算法的主要特点:(1)成像平面选取在r—sinθ坐标系,代替现有FFBP算法的r—θ坐标系,从而直接避免了对投影视角的反正弦计算;(2)采用2维多项式拟合的方法对投影斜距和视角进行计算,代替现有FFBP算法的逐点计算或1维多项式拟合,从而大大减小了运算量。最后,利用X波段的SAR回波仿真数据对该文提出的改进FFBP算法进行验证。
Due to the reduction in computational complexity, Fast Factorized Back-Projection (FFBP) has an obvious advantage over conventional BP in improving the processing efficiency of SAR. Based on the FFBP algorithm presented before, a novel FFBP algorithm which can reduce computational complexity further is proposed in this paper. The main characteristics of the novel FFBP are as follows: (1) with the imaging plane set on the r - sin θ coordinate system instead of polar coordinate system, there is no need to calculate the arcsines of the back-projected angle; (2) meanwhile, two-dimensional polynomial fitting method is introduced to obtain the values of back-projected slant range and angle without calculating point by point. Finally, the processing results of simulated X-band SAR data show the proposed algorithm is accurate and effective in reconstructing well focused images.
