Abstract
This paper presents a novel SParse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation approach, abbreviated as SPICE, to array processing. The proposed approach is obtained by the minimization of a covariance matrix fitting criterion and is particularly useful in many-snapshot cases but can be used even in single-snapshot situations. SPICE has several unique features not shared by other sparse estimation methods: it has a simple and sound statistical foundation, it takes account of the noise in the data in a natural manner, it does not require the user to make any difficult selection of hyperparameters, and yet it has global convergence properties.

SPICE-Based SAR Tomography over Forest Areas Using a Small Number of P-Band Airborne F-SAR Images Characterized by Non-Uniformly Distributed Baselines

TL;DR: A sparse iterative covariance-based estimation approach based on the wavelet and orthogonal sparse basis (W&O-SPICE) for application over forest areas that can successfully reconstruct the vertical structure of a forest and shows a better performance than W&o-CS, beamforming, Capon, and the iterative adaptive approach.

Correlation Subspaces: Generalizations and Connection to Difference Coarrays

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through examples that using sparse arrays and generalized correlation subspaces, DOA estimators with source priors exhibit better estimation performance than those without priors, in extreme cases like low SNR and limited snapshots.
