Applications of Time-Domain Back-Projection SAR Processing in the Airborne Case
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Back-Projection Algorithm is a SAR processing approach that uses time-domain convolution of the SAR data in order to perform SAR focusing. Some benefits of this approach are exact inversion, ideal motion compensation including topography information and handling of general aperture geometries. The implementation of the Back-Projection Algorithm was done focusing on the parallelization aspects. Applications of the algorithm are presented with respect to topography adaptive processing, direct generation of map projections and consideration of non linear trajectories.

Tomographic Focusing by Combining Time-Domain Back-Projection and Multi-Looking Based Focusing Techniques
Various tomographic processing methods have been investigated in recent years. The quality of the focused tomographic image is usually limited by several factors. In particular, Fourier-based focusing methods are susceptible to irregular and sparse sampling, two problems that are unavoidable in case of multi-pass, multi-baseline SAR data acquired by an airborne system. Neither time-domain back-...

Recently, various attempts have been undertaken to retrieve information about the three-dimensional structure of vegetation from multibaseline synthetic aperture radar data. Although tomographic processing of such data has been demonstrated, yet, there are still several problems that limit the focusing quality. In particular, the frequency-domain based focusing methods are susceptible to irregu...
متن کاملProcessing SAR data of rugged terrain by time-domain back-projection
Processing of SAR images of rugged terrain deserves special care because the topography affects the focused image in a number of ways. In order to obtain geometrically and radiometrically corrected SAR images of mountainous areas additional knowledge about the topography and the sensor’s trajectory and attitude has to be included in the processing or post-processing steps. Various well-known fo...

In recent years, a number of approaches in order to improve the quality and the performance of tomographic SAR imaging have been proposed (e.g. [1], [2], [3]), mostly using L-band data or simulated data. In [4] we have proposed a tomographic focusing method entirely based on the time-domain back-projection algorithm, an approach, which maintains the geometric relationship between the original s...
