Demonstrates better image quality in SAR imaging, suggesting improved generation techniques for unseen angles.
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) target images are highly sensitive to aspect angle, while practical data acquisition usually provides only sparse observations over limited viewpoints. This leads to severe data scarcity at unseen aspect angles and makes cross-angle generation prone to scattering-structure distortion and background statistical mismatch. Existing SAR image generation methods either focus on distribution matching without sufficiently exploiting scattering-related structural cues, or emphasize angle conditioning while failing to jointly preserve physically plausible dominant scattering-response variations and realistic background speckle statistics at unseen aspect angles. To address this issue, we propose a physically consistent framework for SAR image generation at unseen aspect angles. The proposed method introduces an ASC-inspired sparse scattering-structure prior to approximate the dominant scattering responses in the SAR image plane. Rather than performing full parametric ASC inversion, this prior serves as a differentiable and angle-aware structural proxy that guides the generator toward synthesizing SAR images with structurally plausible scattering layouts. In addition, a dual-consistency scheme is introduced to jointly enforce target-region scattering consistency and background-region statistical consistency, thereby improving the physical realism of the generated results in both the target and background regions. Extensive experiments under strict unseen-angle interpolation and hold-out protocols demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms representative baselines in image fidelity, target-region scattering consistency, background statistical consistency, and angle-conditioned consistency. Further visualization and ablation studies verify the critical role of the ASC-inspired sparse scattering-structure prior in physically consistent SAR view completion.
