IISAR imaging of maritime targets has greater success than other ISAR applications due to the constant oscillatory motions induced by waves and wind. However, relative target motions are usually unknown, dificult focusing, image interpretation and target classification. Using interferometry to obtain the height information makes possible to obtain a 3-D reconstruction of a target, aiding image focusing, image interpretation and target classification. However, the information and utility of the ISAR image and the interferometric information depends highly on geometry and targets dynamics. In this paper we will study the influence of movement dynamics in interferometric ISAR imaging using a realistic extended moving target simulation, a general geometry and complex dynamics models.
