Improved PGA method

In talking with Hayden Callow, I was able to improve your existing autofocus2 method.

In it, I use the ML estimator which is unbiased. Incidentally, I find this method performs better than the existing method on my SAS data of the SASSED dataset.

Here is my updated version of autofocus2 method.

def autoFocus2(img, win = 'auto', win_params = [100,0.5]):

    #Derive parameters

    nsamples = int(img.shape[1])

    #Initialize loop variables
    img_af = 1.0*img
    max_iter = 30
    af_ph = 0
    rms = []

    #Compute phase error and apply correction
    for iii in range(max_iter):

        #Find brightest azimuth sample in each range bin
        index = np.argsort(np.abs(img_af), axis=0)[-1]

        #Circularly shift image so max values line up
        f = np.zeros(img.shape)+0j
        for i in range(nsamples):
            f[:,i] = np.roll(img_af[:,i], int(npulses/2-index[i]))

        if win == 'auto':
            #Compute window width
            s = np.sum(f*np.conj(f), axis = -1)
            s = 10*np.log10(s/s.max())
            #For first two iterations use all azimuth data
            #and half of azimuth data, respectively
            if iii == 0:
                width = npulses
            #For all other iterations, use twice the 10 dB threshold
            else:
                width = np.sum(s>-10)

            window = np.arange(npulses/2-width/2,npulses/2+width/2)
            if width<5:
                break

        window = window.astype('int')
        #Window image
        g = np.zeros(img.shape)+0j
        g[window] = f[window]
