Abstract:Compared with usual SAR, the computational load of UWB-SAR system for imaging is larger, and the realization of real-time processing is more difficult. According to applying sub-aperture process to the BP algorithm, a practical real-time imaging algorithm (Local BP algorithm) is presented. For a SAR image area with N pixels each side, LBP algorithm can reduce the required operations, and it has a good parallel and pipelined architecture.
