文摘This paper proposes an autofocus algorithm used for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, called Adaptive Kurtosis Optimization Autofocus Algorithm (AKOAA). The AKOAA can reduce the differ-ence between initial value and real value in focusing by adaptively adjusting the initial value, therefore effec-tively improve the local extremum problem in the Contrast Optimization Autofocus Algorithm (COAA) and speed up the convergence velocity. The principle and realization method of AKOAA are thoroughly investi-gated, and experimental results using real L-band SAR data show that the focus speed of AKOAA is nearly doubled compared with that of the COAA, and the image contrast of AKOAA is improved as well.
