Focusing Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) data with the Omega-K technique (original) (raw)

2009 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2009

Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Sonar (SAS) systems provide high resolution reflectivity maps of the imaged scene by coherently combining the echoes collected along a virtual array of receivers. A peculiarity of SAS systems is that the echoes are often collected by moving a short real array of hydrophones to avoid range ambiguity. In this paper we present a modification of the standard wavenumber focusing algorithm widely used in SAR data processing to make it suitable for focusing bi-static SAS data. An autofocusing technique is then exploited to estimate and compensate for the deviation of the platform trajectory from the rectilinear one.
