Pryde G C, Delves L M and Luttrell S P, ?? 1989, The performance of a parallel super-resolution algorithm for synthetic aperture radar images, Proceedings of Conference on Mathematics in Signal Processing (Warwick, UK), ?? (, ed. ), vol. , pp. 739-747
In a previous paper we have described an effective super-resolution algorithm for the detailed analysis of portions of a SAR image. That paper also discussed indirect implementation techniques for the algorithm, with the aim of reducing the very high cost of the algorithm when applied to realistic size images. Despite the large speedups made, even the indirect algorithm remains expensive. We therefore describe here some initial experiments with parallel versions of the original (direct) algorithm, on both the AMT DAP and on transputer arrays. The results show that the algorithm can be very effectively implemented on either architecture.
