Efficient algorithm for three-dimensional target feature extraction via CLSAR

A lower dimensional position searching (LODIPS) algorithm is proposed for three-dimensional (3-D) target feature extraction via the curvilinear synthetic aperture radar (CLSAR) system. Compared with another similarly structured algorithm RELAX, the LODIPS algorithm dramatically reduces the computational load through the utilisation of lower dimensional FFTs. Simulation results show that the new algorithm can reach CRB at low SNR.
