Inhalt:
Motion compensation is an important part of SAR processing for high resolution airborne sensors, such as those flown on UAS's. The non-ideal motion of the platform results in degraded image quality, but for known motion, corrections can be made. Traditional motion compensation requires a computationally costly interpolation step to correct translational motion greater than a single range bin. This paper presents an efficient new motion compensation algorithm that corrects this range shift without interpolation. The new method is verified with simulated SAR data and data collected with the NuSAR.
