Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is extensively employed in earth remote sensing, including both civilian and military sectors. Currently, establishing the correspondence between strong scattering regions in SAR images and the 3D geometry of the target has become a research hotspot. Traditional methods based on scattering center modeling overly rely on prior knowledge and manual annotation. However, neural network-based approaches often lack the constraints of SAR imaging principles when performing feature extraction. In this paper, we propose a method for analyzing strong scattering in SAR images based on a differentiable simulator to visualize the correspondence between strong scattering in SAR images and the 3D geometry of the target. Specifically, the differentiable simulator accumulates the scattering intensity in the scattering simulation stage to generate simulated SAR images at multi-pose. By computing the loss with the SAR image in the dataset (ground truth), the differentiable simulator can provide a direct mapping from the strong scattering in SAR images to the target's 3D structures. The effectiveness of the method is validated on a dataset of simulated SAR images based on the MSTAR. From the result we obtained, the correspondence between the 3D structures of the target model and the strong scattering in the image can be intuitively and clearly determined.

Integrating Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) plays a crucial role in urban area surveillance and situational awareness, benefiting from the low cost, small size, and high flexibility of SAR carried by drones. However, the dense arrangement of high-rise buildings in urban environments creates Urban Canyons and numerous visual blind spots due to occlusion, which weakens the perception capability of SAR. Additionally, SAR imaging results of moving vehicles on the roads between buildings result in severe defocusing due to their non-cooperative motion. In this paper, we establish a vehicle signal model for SAR imaging with UAVs that considers the vehicle body’s translation and the wheels’ rotation. The range history modulation and imaging characteristics of returns caused by translation and micro-motion are derived. Simulation results validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis, and the proposed theory helps explain SAR imaging results, providing support for high-precision focusing and three-dimensional imaging of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) SAR images.

The Two-step algorithm (TSA) is widely used for trajectory deviation compensation of airborne Synthetic aperture radar (SAR), by which most of the motion errors are compensated before Range curve migration compensation (RCMC) and the residual after the RCMC. We found that the RCMC in the presence of the residual motion errors results in additional range shift errors hard to be compensated for. Based on theoretical investigations, this shortage of TSA is reported and a new compensation scheme which greatly alleviates the RCMC induced errors is proposed. Besides, range resampling considering the residual motion errors is very convinent, which, however, is boresome in TSA. The new method is effective to compensate the high resolution SAR systems for large trajectory deviations, which is hard to be achieved by TSA because of the uncompensated errors. Results on the simulated data are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method.

We have witnessed the revolutionary progress of learned image compression despite a short history of this field. Some challenges still remain such as computational complexity that prevent the practical application of learning-based codecs. In this paper, we address the issue of heavy time complexity from the view of arithmetic coding. Prevalent learning-based image compression scheme first maps the natural image into latent representations and then conduct arithmetic coding on quantized latent maps. Previous arithmetic coding schemes define the start and end value of the arithmetic codebook as the minimum and maximum of the whole latent maps, ignoring the fact that the value ranges in most channels are shorter. Hence, we propose to use a channel-adaptive codebook to accelerate arithmetic coding. We find that the latent channels have different frequency-related characteristics, which are verified by experiments of neural frequency filtering. Further, the value ranges of latent maps are different across channels which are relatively image-independent. The channel-adaptive characteristics allow us to establish efficient prior codebooks that cover more appropriate ranges to reduce the runtime. Experimental results demonstrate that both the arithmetic encoding and decoding can be accelerated while preserving the rate-distortion performance of compression model.
