Abstract :
This paper discusses the use of modern 2-D spectral estimation algorithms for SAR imaging. We provide a synopsis of the algorithms available, and discuss their relative merits for SAR imaging. SAR data collected of two commercial ships is used to compare the characteristics of imagery produced by a variety of 2-D spectral estimators
