Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery Presented at DoD HPCMP Users Group
Tom Biddlecome, Paul Adams and Randall Hand, ERDC Major Shared Resource Center (MSRC), Scientific Visualization Center, co-authored a paper with Dr. Randy Moses, Ohio State University, titled “3-D Target Visualization from Wide-Angle IFSAR Data,” presented at the presented at the High Performance Computing Users Group Conference in Nashville, TN, 27 June –30 June. The paper addressed the problem of developing 3-D spatial representations of objects by processing sparse, wide-angle radar measurements of that object. The paper described an approach in which multiple interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) image pairs are obtained, each using a modest angular aperture. Each IFSAR image pair is used to extract 3-D scattering locations and attributes. The points are combined to form object reconstructions and are visualized with volume-rendering methods.

What I did was some nice Volume Rendering of some volumetric data representing simulated radar reflections of a Backhoe. I did it all using VTK‘s new “vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper” class. I’ll see if I can’t get cleared to post a nifty pic here on the website for you all….
