Spatial Resolution Enhancement of Microwave Radiometer Using BG Algorithm
a BG algorithm to enhance the spatial resolution of microwave radiometer is introduced. The main principle of the BG algorithm is as follows. A higher resolution image can be obtained using the linear combination of the adjacent measurements if the density of the measurement is larger than that of the instrument. The principle is also suitable for other microwave remote sensing sensors. The tunable parameter referenced from the study of Stogryn is introduced in this paper
which it can balance the tradeoff between the spatial resolution and the system sensitivity
and prevent increasing the flicker noise of the image too serious when high spatial resolution is pursued. Simulated images of microwave radiometer at 20
50
and 90GHz were enhanced. The rate of spatial resolution enhancement depends on the density of the sampling.
