Abstract

Recently, the iterative adaptive approach (IAA) was adopted to allow for the estimation of high-resolution scanning radar images. In this letter, we further develop this approach by introducing a range-recursive IAA (IAA-RR) formulation allowing for a computationally efficient updating of the resulting estimates along range. Besides exploiting the rich matrix structure to mitigate the computational complexity for each iteration, the correlation between adjacent range cells is exploited to accelerate the convergence of the IAA iterations. When an additional range measurement becomes available, further acceleration is available by exploiting the estimates already formed for the adjacent range cells. Compared with the existing fast IAA... (More)

Recently, the iterative adaptive approach (IAA) was adopted to allow for the estimation of high-resolution scanning radar images. In this letter, we further develop this approach by introducing a range-recursive IAA (IAA-RR) formulation allowing for a computationally efficient updating of the resulting estimates along range. Besides exploiting the rich matrix structure to mitigate the computational complexity for each iteration, the correlation between adjacent range cells is exploited to accelerate the convergence of the IAA iterations. When an additional range measurement becomes available, further acceleration is available by exploiting the estimates already formed for the adjacent range cells. Compared with the existing fast IAA implementation, the proposed IAA-RR is shown to offer significant computational savings, without noticeable loss in performance. Numerical results illustrate the superior performance of the proposed IAA-RR algorithm.
