Abstract

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography (TomoSAR) employs array signal processing techniques, in order to estimate the location of the vertical structures that compose the backscattering field, in the direction perpendicular to the line-of-sight (PLOS). Due to the limited number of tracks for practical TomoSAR sensing scenarios, it becomes challenging to accurately estimate the source parameters. Additionally, irregular sampling and non-uniform acquisition constellations introduce artifacts and increase ambiguity. The usage of super-resolved parametric methods and compressed sensing (CS) based approaches, improve the vertical resolution and mitigate the effect of sidelobes. However, parametric approaches have the main drawback related to the assumption that the scene is composed by a known finite number of point-type backscattering sources. Also, the CS-based techniques regularly imply a considerable computational burden. Overcoming the disadvantages of the above mentioned TomoSAR-adapted methods, this paper presents a novel non-parametric iterative approach for feature enhanced SAR tomography, in the context of maximum likelihood (ML) estimation theory. The feature enhancing capabilities of the proposed technique are corroborated via processing L-band airborne TomoSAR data of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), acquired by the F-SAR system over the forested test site of Froschham, Germany, in 2017.
