Using 1-D Radar Observations to Detect a Space Explosion Core Among the Explosion Fragments: Sequential and Distributed Algorithms

Abstract

A radar observes the result of a space explosion. Due to radar\u27s low horizontal resolution, we get a 1-D signal s(t) representing different 2-D slices. Based on these slices, we must distinguish between the body at the core of the explosion and the slowly out-moving fragments. We propose new algorithms for processing this 1-D data. Since these algorithms are time-consuming, we also exploit the possibility of parallelizing these algorithms
