| contents | Three-dimensional synthetic aperture radar (3D SAR) is an advanced active microwave imaging technology widely utilized in remote sensing area. To achieve high-resolution 3D imaging,3D SAR requires observations from multiple aspects and altitude baselines surrounding the target. However, constrained flight trajectories often lead to sparse observations, which degrade imaging quality, particularly for anisotropic man-made small targets, such as vehicles and aircraft. In the past, compressive sensing (CS) was the mainstream approach for sparse 3D SAR image reconstruction. More recently, deep learning (DL) has emerged as a powerful alternative, markedly boosting reconstruction quality and efficiency. However, existing DL-based methods typically rely solely on high-quality 3D SAR images as supervisory signals to train deep neural networks (DNNs). This unimodal learning paradigm prevents the integration of complementary information from other data modalities, which limits reconstruction performance and reduces target discriminability due to the inherent constraints of electromagnetic scattering. In this paper, we introduce cross-modal learning and propose a Cross-Modal 3D-SAR Reconstruction Network (CMAR-Net) for enhancing sparse 3D SAR images of vehicle targets by fusing optical information. Leveraging cross-modal supervision from 2D optical images and error propagation guaranteed by differentiable rendering, CMAR-Net achieves efficient training and reconstructs sparse 3D SAR images, which are derived from highly sparse-aspect observations, into visually structured 3D vehicle images. Trained exclusively on simulated data, CMAR-Net exhibits robust generalization to real-world data, outperforming state-of-the-art CS and DL methods in structural accuracy within a large-scale parking lot experiment involving numerous civilian vehicles, thereby demonstrating its strong practical applicability. |
