High-Quality Short-Range Radar Imaging with Coprime Sampling by Yaping Wang, Tianjiao Zeng, Xu Zhan, Xiangdong Ma, Mou Wang, Jun Shi, Shunjun Wei, Xiaoling Zhang

“…Our approach is built upon three core perspectives: (1) physical sampling: we adopt a coprime pattern to form an extended sampling aperture with a structured layout, enabling effective utilization of limited channels and minimizing aperture loss; (2) signal measurement: we utilize the second-order statistics of the measured data to generate additional equivalent measurements, thus enhancing the system’s capability to capture diverse spatial information; and (3) scene reconstruction: we establish a novel forward measurement model, linking these equivalent measurements to the scene, and then formulate a sparsity-regularized optimization problem. We design a background-texture-preserving, target-enhanced resolving method based on the first-order proximal gradient algorithm to achieve robust and high-quality imaging results. …”
