Plug-And-Play TomoSAR Imaging With Prior Information

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography (TomoSAR) is an advanced remote sensing technology that has the ability to acquire three-dimensional information of targets. To enhance target features, different reaularization terms, including L

norm, total variation norm, and morphology term, have been introduced into the TomoSAR inversion model. However, there is a lack of attention to establishing a TomoSAR imaging framework with a modular structure that provides flexibility in specifically enhancing different features. In this article, a novel 3D tomographic reconstruction framework based on plug-and-play (PnP) priors and Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is proposed. The PnP-ADMM framework achieves flexibility through the selection of appropriate priors for the features of targets, leading to a trade-off between the performance of feature enhancement and computational complexity. Simulation and real data experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in flexibly selecting priors for feature enhancement of specific targets.
