- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a novel cross-range scaling technique to estimate the rotational velocity (RV) of a maneuvering target. The proposed method includes three steps. First, a feature from accelerated segment test (FAST) is applied to two sequential inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images to find the locations of their robust feature points. Second, the rotation angle (RA) is estimated using two major axes, which are obtained using a principal component analysis (PCA) of the two feature data sets scaled by a candidate RV. Third, an RV search operation based on the measured RA is carried out via the bisection algorithm, which optimizes a newly devised cost function. Compared with the conventional method, the proposed method has two main advantages: 1) it requires no information about the rotation center of a target, and 2) it can efficiently generate a well-scaled ISAR image within a very short time. Finally, the results of experiments using point scatterers and real flying aircraft are provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
