Introduction
Radar has found a wide range of applications in the past, such as target detection and tracking, surveillance, remote sensing, and more recently in the rapidly developing area of robotics and autonomous systems. With advances in both signal processing and hardware design, more flexible (resolution & swath) radar working modes with better performance have been proposed, together with new theories and methods for advanced radar imaging and processing. Moreover, with the deployment of a large number of different types of radar systems, radar image processing in the remote sensing area has entered the era of big data.
Given its great success for traditional optical images, the intelligent processing technology has attracted more and more attention and has been developing very quickly in radar image interpretation, especially for target detection and classification. Although the performance of intelligent processing is better than that of the traditional methods, complex target scattering and unique characteristics of radar data demand tailor-made solutions of their own for further improved performance. This special section is designed to report cutting-edge models and methods for advanced radar imaging and intelligent processing.
