However, the inaccuracies caused by motion errors in the observation model will lead to various degradations and defocus in the reconstructed image. For high-resolution and light-small SAR systems, the range-variant motion errors will decrease the accuracy of range cell migration correction (RCMC), and residual range cell migration (RCM) will exceed multiple range resolution cells and degrade the image quality substantially. Aiming at this problem, in this paper, a novel azimuth-range decoupled sparse SAR imaging method with coarse-to-fine range-variant motion errors and residual RCM correction method is proposed. First, a one-step motion compensation (MOCO) operator is proposed using the inertial navigation systems (INS)\/global positioning systems (GPS) information, which can significantly reduce the residual RCM and improve the reconstruction accuracy. Second, a fine high-order phase-error correction method is performed to correct the range and cross-range-varying phase errors using a joint imaging and phase-error estimation scheme, which will further improve the image focusing quality. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22207927","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]],"date-time":"2022-10-19T00:58:51Z","timestamp":1666141131000},"page":"7927","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Correction of Range-Variant Motion Error and Residual RCM in Sparse Regularization SAR Imaging"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jingyi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Teachering and Research Supporting Center, Air Force Engineering University, Xi\u2019an 710051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4189-9206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiacheng","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information and Navigation College, Air Force Engineering University, Xi\u2019an 710077, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5106","DOI":"10.1109\/TSP.2016.2595499","article-title":"Sparse regularization: Convergence of iterative jumping thresholding algorithm","volume":"64","author":"Zeng","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
