3D InISAR-based target reconstruction algorithm by using a Multi-Channel ground-based radar demonstrator

Abstract

A 3D reconstruction algorithm for non cooperative moving targets is proposed in this paper. This method exploits interferometric ISAR imaging (InISAR) to estimate the heights of the dominant scatterers with respect t o the Image Projection Plane. In particular, the interferometric phases measured from two orthogonal baselines are used to reconstruct t he third dimension from 2D-ISAR images. Some aspects that make such approach effective in a real scenario have been faced and their problems solved. In order to verify the effectiveness and the reliability of this technique, data from a suitably designed Multi-Channel ground-based radar has been used.
