Abstract

It is difficult for the imaging radar of the single antenna to correlate the scattering centers in 3D reconstruction. Therefore, an association method of scattering centers is proposed to get the transformational matrix of the adjacent image frames through rough matching of the Speeded-up Robust Features (SURF) and determine the association results of the scattering centers with a minimum of 2 norms after back projection. At last, it is verified through the simulation experiment and the measured data. The experimental results indicate that this method is simple with small computation, strong robustness and stable imaging effect. It is applicable to the association of target scattering centers in multiple perspectives. The experimental results prove the feasibility of the method.
