Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to spatial imaging using an imaging radar including generating a plurality of range/Doppler/channel images from a detected image and a four-dimensional image; generating a transfer matrix for each of the plurality of range/Doppler/channel images; generating a plurality of scatterer parameters using maximum likelihood (ML) processing on the plurality of range/Doppler/channel images; generating a plurality of refined scatterer parameters from the plurality of scatterer parameters and the transfer matrix; determining a minimal-order scatterer configuration using the plurality of refined scatterer parameters and the transfer matrix; and generating a set of determined scatterer parameters from the minimal-order scatterer configuration and the transfer matrix.
