Processing of radar images containing objects with significantly different radar cross-section in the onboard remote sensing complex for search and rescue operations in the Arctic Region

The method of adaptive nonlinear matching of dynamic ranges of radar signal and imaging device is proposed. The method is intended for use in the onboard remote sensing complexes during formation of radar images of the earth's surface. The method is aimed at increasing the visibility of small objects on the background of the underlying surface in order to simplify the procedures for their detection and identification. The computational complexity of the proposed algorithm makes it possible to use it in real time
