Recent advances in distributed multimedia technologies are likely to have a significant impact on the co-operative work practices of organisations. However, at present there is little practical...

Sparse Aperture Radar Imaging (2005)

D. Gregory Arnold, Pengwen Chen, Alfa Heryudono, Jayoung Nam, Jorge M. Ramirez, Neil Williams

Radar data collected from airplanes in real time is generally sparse except in very special cases. We demonstrate several tools and approaches to form images in some examples. 1
