Fast back-projection algorithm for Bistatic SAR with parallel trajectory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exploiting the fundamental redundancy between nearby aperture positions for high frequency reflectivity components in the along-track direction, we will propose a factorized back-projection algorithm for bistatic SAR with parallel trajectory inversion based on recursive partitioning of the back-projection integral. The basic back-projection summation is factorised into n processing stages, each with successively increasing sub-aperture and decreasing sub-image size, the algorithm stops when the full aperture or resolution is reached. The operation numbers reach O(Nlog2N), which approaches that of the method based-on FFT.

Frequency domain algorithm for bistatic SAR
Bistatic SAR uses transmitter and receiver flying distinct platforms. There are two main configuration types. Time invariant configuration: velocity vectors are identical and parallel to the ground. Thus, equidistance lines and lines of equal radial velocity are translated along the trajectory as time grows. Non time invariant configuration: velocity vectors are not equal. There are two princip...
متن کاملA fast back-projection algorithm for bistatic SAR imaging
Using a far-field model, bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) acquires Fourier data on a rather unusual, non-Cartesian grid in the Fourier domain. Previous image formation algorithms were mainly based on direct Fourier reconstruction to take advantage of the FFT, but the irregular coverage of the available Fourier domain data and the 2-D interpolation in the Fourier domain may adversely affe...

The backprojection (BP) algorithm has been applied to every SAR mode due to its great focusing quality and adaptability. However, the BP algorithm suffers from immense computational complexity. To improve the efficiency of the conventional BP algorithm, several fast BP (FBP) algorithms, such as the fast factorization BP (FFBP) and Block_FFBP, have been developed in recent studies. In the deriva...
