An adaptive p...Passive millimeter wave （PMMW） images inherently have the problem of poor resolution owing to limited aperture dimension. Thus, efficient post-processing is necessary to achieve resolution improvement. An adaptive projected Landweber （APL） super-resolution algorithm using a spectral correction procedure, which attempts to combine the strong points of all of the projected Landweber （PL） iteration and the adaptive relaxation parameter adjustment and the spectral correction method, is proposed. In the algorithm, the PL iterations are implemented as the main image restoration scheme and a spectral correction method is included in which the calculated spectrum within the passband is replaced by the known low frequency component. Then, the algorithm updates the relaxation parameter adaptively at each iteration. A qualitative evaluation of this algorithm is performed with simulated data as well as actual radiometer image captured by 91.5 GHz mechanically scanned radiometer. From experiments, it is found that the super-resolution algorithm obtains better results and enhances the resolution and has lower mean square error （MSE）. These constraints and adaptive character and spectral correction procedures speed up the convergence of the Landweber algorithm and reduce the ringing effects that are caused by regularizing the image restoration problem.展开更多

The poor spatial resolution, which is limited by antenna size, should be improved by post data processing. A conjugate-gradient （CG） algorithm is adopted to circumvent this drawback. Simulation and real data collected in laboratory environment are given, and the results show that the CG algorithm improves the spatial resolution and convergent rate. Further, it can reduce the ringing effects which are caused by regularizing the image restoration. Thus, the CG algorithm is easily implemented for PMMW imaging.展开更多
