Abstract In this paper, an optimization model using Cauchy regularization is proposed for simultaneous SAR image reconstruction and autofocusing. An alternating minimization framework in which the desired image and the phase errors are optimized alternatively is designed to solve the model. For the subproblem of estimating the image, we utilize the techniques of Wirtinger calculus to directly minimize the cost function which involves complex variables. We also utilise a state-of-the-art, sparsity-enforcing Cauchy regularizer. The proposed method is demonstrated to give impressive autofocusing results by conducting experiments on both simulated scene and real SAR image.
