The use of entropy to focus inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images
Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images generated of targets which have a large angle of rotation or non-linear rotational motion are blurred if the rotational motion is not taken into account. If the rotational motion is known, the data can be corrected by resampling from the polar grid on which the data is collected, to a rectangular grid.

A new auto-focus algorithm for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging [PDF]
Autofocus is imperative for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. In this paper an approach for ISAR autofocus is developed by use of second order statistics (SOS) of returned signals. The ISAR observation model is established, the approach is verified and the relationship of the developed approach to other methods is investigated.

Cross-band Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) Image Fusion
Research on image fusion is making rapid progress recently, because multiple looks of the same target from different aspects will increase the available knowledge and allow more useful target information to be extracted. Studying on the physical principle of constructing radar images, especially inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images, make the ...

An eigenvector approach for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) motion compensation and imaging
Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) is a high resolution imaging radar. The image reconstruction of ISAR involves two steps; motion compensation and image formation. In this paper, an eigenvector approach is proposed to carry out ISAR motion compensation.

This paper will present the findings associated with data eclipsing effects in the inverse polar format algorithm (IPFA) for turntable spotlight inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging systems. Typical turntable ISAR systems illuminate a scene of interest with an electromagnetic source in order to obtain samples of the reflectivity function ...

Data Visualization for Low-Frequency Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR)
The purpose of this article was to use ISAR to determine the distance between the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna. Once a systematic approach has been determined, this article could be used on a spacecraft to locate debris in the path of the carrier.

An Efficient Basis for Decomposition of Cavity Returns in Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) Measurements Using Basis Pursuit [PDF]
We recently described a technique called basis pursuit dictionary editing (BDPE) that uses L1 minimization techniques to remove contamination from ISAR measurements and imagery of rotating targets [1]. While our original BPDE technique works well when the target scattering is dominated by literal (non-interacting) returns, non-literal target scattering,
