A Block Sparse Bayesian Learning based ISAR imaging method

The compressive sensing(CS) and sparse representation(SR) technique provide new way to improve the ISAR image resolution. At present, in most traditional CS and SR based ISAR imaging methods, the target is regarded as a set of isolated scattering centers. As a matter of fact, adjacent scattering centers compose a lot of small sets which can reflect the structure of the target. It is no doubt that these small sets can be exploited to improve the ISAR image quality, but the traditional CS and SR ISAR imaging methods ignore this. So in this paper, a block sparse signal recovery algorithm-Block Sparse Bayesian Learning(BSBL) method is introduced to modify the traditional method, and the simulate experiment show that this method can get better ISAR image than the other methods.
