The ability to process satellite images in real time is revolutionizing how Earth is monitored from space. Researchers at the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a near-real-time imaging algorithm that allows synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites to generate focused images directly on board, without waiting for ground-based processing.
This innovation combines the chirp scaling (CS) method—a highly efficient signal-processing algorithm—with embedded GPU computing using NVIDIA’s AGX Orin platform.
