Using the Burst Derivative Measure to Improve the Computational Efficiency of ISAR Motion Compensation Algorithms

Abstract

This technical report describes the use of the burst derivative measure in motion compensation ISAR algorithms for estimating both the slant-range translational motion and rotational kinematic quantities of an uncooperative airborne target. Tests have been performed on simulated as well as actual ISAR data using both a Sun 4 SPARCstation 2 and a parallel processing transputer array. Preliminary results indicate that the burst derivative measure gives significant improvement in processing speed over the traditional entropy measure presently employed.
