Popis: Abstract Due to the aircraft targets’ uncooperative character, acquiring the complete scattering characteristics of enemy aircraft is challenging. An effective reconstruction method of target scattering centres based on characteristics analysis of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images is proposed in this letter. First, a positive definite manifold characterizing ISAR images of different attitudes is constructed. Then, Kullback–Leibler divergence is used as a measure of the variability between ISAR images. Finally, an ISAR image interpolation method based on the characteristics analysis of ISAR images is proposed to obtain the scattering characteristics with more attitudes. Furthermore, simulation results confirm that the proposed method is effective.
