To achieve well‐focused ISAR imaging with low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR), this study constructs a statistical model and derives an effective method for image autofocusing based on Bayesian inference. Particularly, hierarchical sparse‐promoting priors are imposed on the weights, which are conjugate to the likelihood. The method has closed‐form solution which facilitates computation. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the method in low SNR and short aperture scenarios.
