Descripción
Maritime targets are usually involved in complex motions that complicate the generation of focused inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images and their scaling in cross-range. By assuming some hypotheses that translate to some restrictions in the maritime surveillance scenario, a signal model for the phase history is derived. This function is calculated here using phase gradient autofocus and can be related to the pitch motion of the ship, which may consequently be estimated. The amplitude and the period of this pitch estimate allow us to select imaging times at which the ISAR images are descriptive for classification purposes. The cross-range scaling of these images is also achieved. Simulated data are used to validate the technique and to evaluate its performance when deviations from the nominal scenario are present. Results obtained with live data acquired by a high-resolution radar confirm the effectiveness of the approach.
