• Abstract summary: Array synthetic aperture radar (Array-SAR) has demonstrated significant potential for high-quality 3D mapping. Most studies rely on pixel-by-pixel reconstruction, neglecting spatial features like building structures, leading to artifacts such as holes and fragmented edges. Our study integrates spatial feature regularization into DL-based Array-SAR reconstruction, addressing key questions: What spatial features are relevant in urban-area mapping? Results show that spatial feature regularization significantly improves reconstruction accuracy, retrieves more complete building structures, and enhances robustness by reducing noise and outliers.

• Abstract: Array synthetic aperture radar (Array-SAR), also known as tomographic SAR (TomoSAR), has demonstrated significant potential for high-quality 3D mapping, particularly in urban areas.While deep learning (DL) methods have recently shown strengths in reconstruction, most studies rely on pixel-by-pixel reconstruction, neglecting spatial features like building structures, leading to artifacts such as holes and fragmented edges. Spatial feature regularization, effective in traditional methods, remains underexplored in DL-based approaches. Our study integrates spatial feature regularization into DL-based Array-SAR reconstruction, addressing key questions: What spatial features are relevant in urban-area mapping? How can these features be effectively described, modeled, regularized, and incorporated into DL networks? The study comprises five phases: spatial feature description and modeling, regularization, feature-enhanced network design, evaluation, and discussions. Sharp edges and geometric shapes in urban scenes are analyzed as key features. An intra-slice and inter-slice strategy is proposed, using 2D slices as reconstruction units and fusing them into 3D scenes through parallel and serial fusion. Two computational frameworks-iterative reconstruction with enhancement and light reconstruction with enhancement-are designed, incorporating spatial feature modules into DL networks, leading to four specialized reconstruction networks. Using our urban building simulation dataset and two public datasets, six tests evaluate close-point resolution, structural integrity, and robustness in urban scenarios. Results show that spatial feature regularization significantly improves reconstruction accuracy, retrieves more complete building structures, and enhances robustness by reducing noise and outliers.

Experiments on the PointDA-10 and the Sim-to-Real datasets verify that the proposed method consistently achieves the state-of-the-art performance of UDA for point cloud classification.
