Resumen

This paper presents a modulus stretch-based circular Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging method. This method improves the traditional backprojection algorithm for circular SAR imaging, and introduces the modulus stretch transformation function in the imaging process. By performing a modulus stretch transformation on the intermediate results, the target contour in the final imaging result is thinner and clearer. A thinner and clearer contour can help to increase the recognizability of the target and provide a basis for subsequent target recognition. The proposed method is demonstrated on the line target imaging simulations and Gothca dataset.
