Due to the sparse nature of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images, sparsity‐driven algorithms have been developed for high‐resolution ISAR imaging. Recently, alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs) has been introduced for sparse signal recovery. In this Letter, based on ADMM, a fast algorithm for ISAR imaging is proposed which has lower computational complexity than that of conventional sparse representation‐based methods and achieves good robustness in low‐signal‐to‐noise ratio conditions. Experimental results based on both simulations and real data of the Yak‐42 airplane show the superiority of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
