Distinguishing between the instantaneous and delayed scatterers in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is important for target identification and characterization. To perform this task, one can use the autocorrelation analysis of coordinate-delay images. However, due to the range-delay ambiguity the difference in the correlation properties between the instantaneous and delayed targets may be small. Moreover, the reliability of discrimination is affected by speckle, which is ubiquitous in SAR images, and requires statistical treatment.

Previously, we have developed a maximum likelihood based approach for discriminating between the instantaneous and delayed targets in SAR images. To test it, we employed simple statistical models. They allowed us to simulate ensembles of images that depend on various parameters, including aperture width and target contrast.

In the current paper, we enhance our previously developed methodology by establishing confidence levels for the discrimination between the instantaneous and delayed scatterers. Our procedure takes into account the difference in thresholds for different target contrasts without making any assumptions about the statistics of those contrasts.

Keywords: SAR imaging, scattering delay, speckle, confidence level, Monte-Carlo.

The dashed lines passing through the origin indicate the ambiguity direction, see (14), (18). For the middle row of plots, the condition $ \kappa \zeta_{\max} \gtrsim 20 $ (see (40)) is satisfied, and the difference in the orientation of the parallelogram-shaped level lines is more apparent than for the top and bottom rows

Figure 2.  Simulated coordinate-delay SAR images with different contrasts. We use $ \kappa = 2.5 $ and $ \zeta_{\max} = 5\pi $, which corresponds to the middle row in Fig. 1. To build each image, we sample $ \zeta_\text{d} $ and $ \psi_\text{d} $ with a step of $ \pi $ each, and for every $ \zeta_\text{d} $ (i.e., each ambiguity line) generate the multivariate circular Gaussian image components according to (36) with the weights $ \sigma^2_ \alpha K_ \alpha $ calculated via (43). The total images are then computed according to the appropriate expression in (42). Simulation of multivariate normal random variables is performed using the $ \text{MATLAB}^© $ function $\mathtt{mvnpdf}$
