Resource Overview
The ωKA (Omega-K Algorithm) is a prominent method for SAR image formation. This implementation provides both approximate and precise variants of ωKA, with simulation parameters derived from "Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: Algorithms and Implementation". The algorithm utilizes Stolt interpolation for target focusing, followed by cross-range and range slicing to evaluate the final image quality.
Detailed Documentation
The ωKA method is implemented for SAR image formation processing. This program supports both approximate and precise variants of ωKA, with simulation parameters configured according to the reference book "Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: Algorithms and Implementation". The core implementation involves Stolt interpolation for phase compensation and wavenumber domain transformation, which enhances the focusing capability for target reconstruction. Finally, image quality assessment is performed through cross-range and range slicing operations to visualize the point spread function and resolution characteristics. The algorithm structure follows standard ωKA processing chains including range compression, azimuth FFT, Stolt mapping, and inverse FFT operations.
