逆合成孔径雷达(ISAR)成像对小尺寸日常物体面临雷达散射截面(RCS)小和系统分辨率受限的挑战。传统背投影(BP)等方法常需复杂设置与受控环境,难以应对真实世界中的噪声场景。本文提出一种由神经辐射场(NeRF)支持的分析-合成(ATS)框架,利用稀疏且噪声大的超宽带(UWB)雷达数据,实现低成本便携设备下的高分辨率相干ISAR成像。该端到端框架整合了超宽带雷达波传播、反射特性与场景先验,无需昂贵的消声室或复杂测试平台,即可高效重建二维场景。定性与定量对比表明,该方法显著优于传统技术,在非视距(NLOS)及噪声环境下,即使视图有限、扫描稀疏,也能生成复杂多目标结构的清晰图像。本工作为小物体的实际、低成本ISAR成像迈出关键一步,对机器人与移动感知具有广泛意义。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging presents a formidable challenge when it comes to small everyday objects due to their limited Radar Cross-Section (RCS) and the inherent resolution constraints of radar systems. Existing ISAR reconstruction methods including backprojection (BP) often require complex setups and controlled environments, rendering them impractical for many real-world noisy scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel Analysis-through-Synthesis (ATS) framework enabled by Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for high-resolution coherent ISAR imaging of small objects using sparse and noisy Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radar data with an inexpensive and portable setup. Our end-to-end framework integrates ultra-wideband radar wave propagation, reflection characteristics, and scene priors, enabling efficient 2D scene reconstruction without the need for costly anechoic chambers or complex measurement test beds. With qualitative and quantitative comparisons, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms traditional techniques and generates ISAR images of complex scenes with multiple targets and complex structures in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) and noisy scenarios, particularly with limited number of views and sparse UWB radar scans. This work represents a significant step towards practical, cost-effective ISAR imaging of small everyday objects, with broad implications for robotics and mobile sensing applications.
