High resolution radar imaging using sparse signal representation

In this paper, we present a new method for high resolution radar imaging. Based on ideal point-scattering model, a sparse representation algorithm via smoothed l0 norm is introduced to achieve high-resolution radar imaging. The experimental results validate the proposed method.
