Analysis And Suppression Of Bias Effect In Sparse Sar Imaging

The analytic solution of sparse signal reconstruction algorithm based on L-1 regularization is a biased estimation, which leads to the underestimation of target intensity when applied to sparse SAR imaging, resulting in the bias effect and affecting the reconstruction accuracy. In this paper, we quantitatively analyze the bias effect in SAR imaging applications, and analyse the influence of target intensity, signal-to-noise ratio, intensity ratio of adjacent targets in the observation scene on the reconstruction bias. In order to suppress the bias effect and improve the reconstruction accuracy, we adopt a class of algorithms based on nonconvex penalty, and verify the performance of these algorithms using simulations and real data.
