The traditional CT imaging algorithms for ISAR, including the polar format algorithm(PFA) and the convolution back projection algorithm(CBP), usually suffer from the problem of the high sidelobe and the low resolution. The ISAR tomography image reconstruction within a sparse Bayesian framework is concerned. Firstly, the sparse ISAR tomography imaging model is established in light of the CT imaging theory. Then, by using the compressed sensing(CS) principle, a high resolution ISAR image can be achieved with limited number of pulses. Since the performance of existing CS-based ISAR imaging algorithms is sensitive to the user parameter, this makes the existing algorithms inconvenient to be used in practice. It is well known that the Bayesian formalism of recover algorithm named sparse Bayesian learning(SBL) acts as an effective tool in regression and classification,which uses an efficient expectation maximization procedure to estimate the necessary parameters, and retains a preferable property of the l0-norm diversity measure. Motivated by that, a fully automated ISAR tomography imaging algorithm based on SBL is proposed.Experimental results based on simulated and electromagnetic(EM) data illustrate the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the existing algorithms.展开更多

An essential problem about discrete BNs is learning conditional probability table (CPT) parameters. If training data are sparse, purely data-driven methods often fail to learn accurate parameters. Then, expert judgments can be introduced to overcome this challenge. Parameter constraints deduced from expert judgments can cause parameter estimates to be consistent with domain knowledge. In addition, Dirichlet priors contain information that helps improve learning accuracy. This paper proposes a constrained Bayesian estimation approach to learn CPTs by incorporating constraints and Dirichlet priors. First, a posterior distribution of BN parameters is developed over a restricted parameter space based on training data and Dirichlet priors. Then, the expectation of the posterior distribution is taken as a parameter estimation. As it is difficult to directly compute the expectation for a continuous distribution with an irregular feasible domain, we apply the Monte Carlo method to approximate it. In the experiments on learning standard BNs, the proposed method outperforms competing methods. It suggests that the proposed method can facilitate solving real-world problems. Additionally, a case study of Wine data demonstrates that the proposed method achieves the highest classification accuracy.展开更多
