Airborne Platform Three-Dimensional Positioning Method Based on Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferogram Matching

As the demand for precise navigation of aircraft increases in modern society, researching high-precision, high-autonomy navigation systems is both theoretically valuable and practically significant. Because the inertial navigation system (INS) has systematic and random errors, its output information diverges. Therefore, it is necessary to combine them with other navigation systems for real-time compensation and correction of these errors. The SAR matching positioning and navigation system uses synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image matching for platform positioning and compensates for the drift caused by errors in the inertial measurement unit (IMU). Images obtained by SAR are matched with digital landmark data, and the platform’s position is calculated based on the SAR imaging geometry. However, SAR matching positioning faces challenges due to seasonal variations in SAR images, the need for typical landmarks for matching, and the lack of elevation information in two-dimensional SAR image matching. This paper proposes an airborne platform positioning method based on interferometric SAR (InSAR) interferogram matching. InSAR interferograms contain terrain elevation information, are less affected by seasonal changes, and provide higher positioning accuracy and robustness. By matching real-time InSAR-processed interferograms with simulated interferograms using a digital elevation model (DEM), three-dimensional position information about the matching points has been obtained. Subsequently, a three-dimensional positioning model for the platform has bene established using the unit line-of-sight vector decomposition method. In actual flight experiments using an FMCW Ku-band Interferometric SAR system, the proposed platform positioning framework demonstrated its ability to achieve precise positioning in the absence of signals from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS).

Maritime Moving Target Reconstruction via MBLCFD in Staggered SAR System

Imaging maritime targets requires a high resolution and wide swath (HWRS) in a synthetic aperture radar (SAR). When operated with a variable pulse repetition interval (PRI), a staggered SAR can realize HRWS imaging, which needs to be reconstructed due to echo pulse loss and a nonuniformly sampled signal along the azimuth. The existing reconstruction algorithms are designed for stationary scenes in a staggered SAR mode, and thus, produce evident image defocusing caused by complex target motion for moving targets. Typically, the nonuniform sampling and complex motion of maritime targets aggravate the spectrum aliasing in a staggered SAR mode, causing inevitable ambiguity and degradation in its reconstruction performance. To this end, this study analyzed the spectrum of maritime targets in a staggered SAR system through theoretical derivation. After this, a reconstruction method named MBLCFD (Modified Best Linear Unbaised and Complex-Lag Time-Frequency Distribution) is proposed to refocus the blurred maritime target. First, the signal model of the maritime target with 3D rotation accompanying roll–pitch–yaw movement was established under the curved orbit of the satellite. The best linear unbiased (BLU) method was modified to alleviate the coupling of nonuniform sampling and target motion. A precise SAR algorithm was performed based on the method of inverse reversion to counteract the effect of a curved orbit and wide swath. Based on the hybrid SAR/ISAR technique, the complex-lag time-frequency distribution was exploited to refocus the maritime target images. Simulations and experiments were carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, providing precise refocusing performance in staggered mode.

ANALYSIS OF NOVASAR-1 S-BAND DATA IN DEVELOPING AN ALTERNATIVE LAND COVER MAPPING

Abstract. The Advanced Science and Technology Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-ASTI), through its Synthetic Aperture Radar and Automatic Identification System (SARwAIS) Project, has gained access to S-Band SAR images acquired by the NovaSAR-1 satellite of UK’s Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL) To help maximize the utility of these images especially in the aspect of terrain-related applications, their viability as potential alternatives to datasets like optical satellite images and other SAR images in characterizing land cover types was evaluated. Statistical analyses on the backscatter values from the tri-polarization ScanSAR datasets using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and its corresponding post-hoc tests showed that there is a significant difference on the mean backscatter values at 0.05 level of significance. Moreover, Tukey’s honestly significant difference (Tukey’s HSD) test determined which pairs contribute to the significant difference. Using the Random Forest algorithm resulted in an accuracy of 66.93% without further optimization and/or reduction in the number of land covers being classified. Despite the relatively unremarkable accuracy score, it still showed potential for data augmentation with optical satellites for land cover mapping and other terrain-related applications.

InSAR-based landslide hazard mapping and identification of at-risk infrastructures in a selected district of North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia.

The devastating nature of landslides demands a thorough understanding of their spatial distribution and the risks they pose to human settlements and infrastructural assets. In this study, we employed a combination of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to explore the western escarpment of the Main Ethiopian Rift, with a focus on selected districts within the northern Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. By analyzing the SAR data, we derived 28 displacement maps and utilized them to create a comprehensive landslide hazard zonation map. The results indicated significant ground displacement, particularly along the rift margins and areas characterized by rugged terrain. The hazard zones were classified based on their level of risk, with 44% classified as very low, 24% as low, 5% as moderate, 13% as high, and 14% as very high hazard zones. The accuracy of our results was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, which was conducted utilizing landslide inventory data. The analysis demonstrated a remarkable area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.848, providing strong evidence for the validity of our findings. Additionally, our study involved a spatial and statistical assessment of major infrastructure, revealing that 20 to 28% of these properties were in hazard zones ranging from moderate to very high levels, which calls for efficient risk-reduction actions. Therefore, this finding enables stakeholders to identify high-risk areas, prioritize mitigation efforts, and minimize the impact of landslide disasters.

A Broadband Information Metasurface-Assisted Target Jamming System for Synthetic Aperture Radar

In recent years, jamming strategies for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) pertaining to target detection and identification, such as the creation of false targets, electromagnetic (EM) deception, and signal spoofing, have been increasingly emphasized. Distinct from traditional SAR jamming approaches, the introduction of an innovative artificial material cloak in SAR target jamming presents augmented capabilities. These methods demonstrate a proficient redirection of incident EM waves in specific or arbitrary directions, effectively masking the vital information linked to critical targets. This study introduces a broadband SAR target jamming system employing an information metasurface that incorporates intelligent information processing algorithms in conjunction with a space-time-coding digital metasurface, endowing it with the capacity to adeptly modulate incident EM waves. This integration facilitates a versatile approach to jamming, enabling the deployment of multi-mode protective measures against critical targets. The conducted simulation and experiment results validate the system’s ability to adjustably produce EM deception and generate multiple false targets independently of the SAR system. The outcomes of this research significantly advance the practicality of SAR protection strategies, pushing the boundaries toward more dynamic, broadband, and controllable scenarios, thereby substantially improving the concealment of critical targets in highly sensitive conflict areas.

Impact Analysis and Compensation Methods of Frequency Synchronization Errors in Distributed Geosynchronous Synthetic Aperture Radar

Frequency synchronization error, as one of the inevitable technical challenges in distributed synthetic aperture radar (SAR), has different impacts on different SAR systems. Multi-monostatic SAR is a typical distributed configuration where frequency synchronization errors are tiny in distributed airborne and low earth orbit (LEO) SAR systems. However, due to the long time delay and long synthetic aperture time, the imaging performance of a multi-monostatic geosynchronous (GEO) SAR system is affected by frequency oscillator errors. In this paper, to investigate the frequency synchronization problem in this configuration, we firstly model the echo signals with the frequency synchronization errors, which can be divided into fixed frequency errors and random phase noise. Secondly, we talk about the impacts of the two kinds of errors on imaging performance. To solve the problem, we thirdly propose an autofocus back-projection (ABP) algorithm, which adopts the coordinate descent method and iteratively adjusts the phase error estimation until the image reaches its maximum sharpness. Based on the characteristics of the frequency synchronization errors, we further propose the Node ABP (NABP) algorithm, which greatly reduces the amount of storage and computation compared to the ABP algorithm. Finally, simulations are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the ABP and NABP algorithms.

Double-Vergent Plate Boundary Faults and Triggered Coseismic Rupture of the 2022 Chihshang Doublet Earthquake Occurred in Eastern Taiwan

Abstract The earthquake doublet of Mw 6.5 and 6.9 occurred along the west-dipping Central Range fault (CRF) adjacent to the east-dipping creep segment of the Longitudinal Valley fault in eastern Taiwan on 17–18 September 2022. The faulting model derived from the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar and Global Positioning System observation suggests that the west-dipping CRF rupture is responsible for the two mainshocks. Meanwhile, the two major earthquakes resulted in ∼100 km of fault slip along the double-convergent plate boundary faults near the Longitudinal Valley in eastern Taiwan. The 2022 Chihshang earthquake sequence filled the seismic gap of the CRF located between the 2006 ML 6.1 Taitung earthquake and the 2013 ML 6.1 Ruisui earthquake. Finally, the 2022 Chihshang earthquake sequence increased the Coulomb failure stress in the southernmost segment of the CRF, which may cause a higher seismic potential in the future.

Utilizing Polarization Diversity in GBSAR Data-Based Object Classification.

In recent years, the development of intelligent sensor systems has experienced remarkable growth, particularly in the domain of microwave and millimeter wave sensing, thanks to the increased availability of affordable hardware components. With the development of smart Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GBSAR) system called GBSAR-Pi, we previously explored object classification applications based on raw radar data. Building upon this foundation, in this study, we analyze the potential of utilizing polarization information to improve the performance of deep learning models based on raw GBSAR data. The data are obtained with a GBSAR operating at 24 GHz with both vertical (VV) and horizontal (HH) polarization, resulting in two matrices (VV and HH) per observed scene. We present several approaches demonstrating the integration of such data into classification models based on a modified ResNet18 architecture. We also introduce a novel Siamese architecture tailored to accommodate the dual input radar data. The results indicate that a simple concatenation method is the most promising approach and underscore the importance of considering antenna polarization and merging strategies in deep learning applications based on radar data.

Time series analysis of L-band PALSAR-2 images in Istanbul and Kocaeli, Turkey

ABSTRACT Conducting long measurements of infrastructure deformation is a critical engineering task. Conventional methods are both time-consuming and expensive, limiting their use for large-scale applications. The synergy of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and geographic information systems (GIS) offers a complementary approach. This study focuses on the feasibility of using time series analysis of L-band PALSAR-2 images to discover land displacements in Istanbul and Kocaeli, significant industrial and residential areas in Turkey. PALSAR-2 phase and intensity information were analyzed. For phase analysis, 14 L-band images from 2014 to 2021 were taken into account. Small baseline subset (SBAS) analysis was performed using 44 pairs, and results of the velocity, coherence and backscattering values are presented. Coherence of all pairs and their correlations were calculated. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduced the dimension of coherence pairs, enhancing feature extraction and the final geocoded velocity map revealed a fastest subsidence rate of −58 mm/yr and a mean subsidence of −20 mm/yr. These findings were confirmed through mean vertical velocity from Sentinel-1 datasets and field observations. The results showed that immature land subsidence in the mentioned areas are growing slowly, which can be taken as a serious risk in future.

ABSTRACT This paper is intended to summarize the research conducted during the first 2 years of the Dragon 5 project 59,332 (geophysical and atmospheric retrieval from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data stacks over natural scenarios). Monitoring atmospheric phenomena, encompassing both tropospheric and ionospheric conditions, holds pivotal significance for various scientific and practical applications. In this paper, we present an exploration of advanced techniques for estimating tropospheric and ionospheric phase screens using stacks of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Our study delves into the current state-of-the-art in atmospheric monitoring with a focus on spaceborne SAR systems, shedding light on their evolving capabilities. For tropospheric phase screen estimation, we propose a novel approach that jointly estimates the tropospheric component from all the images. We discuss the methodology in detail, highlighting its ability to recover accurate tropospheric maps. Through a series of quantitative case studies using real Sentinel-1 satellite data, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique in capturing tropospheric variability over different geographical regions. Concurrently, we delve into the estimation of ionospheric phase screens utilizing SAR image stacks. The intricacies of ionospheric disturbances pose unique challenges, necessitating specialized techniques. We dissect our approach, showcasing its capacity to mitigate ionospheric noise and recover precise phase information. Real data from the Sentinel-1 satellite are employed to showcase the efficacy of our method, unraveling ionospheric perturbations with improved accuracy. The integration of our techniques, though presented separately for clarity, collectively contributes to a comprehensive framework for atmospheric monitoring. Our findings emphasize the potential of SAR-based approaches in advancing our knowledge of atmospheric processes, thus fostering advancements in weather prediction, geophysics, and environmental management.

Recognition for SAR deformation military target from a new MiniSAR dataset using multi-view joint transformer approach

Accurately detecting ground armored weapons is crucial for achieving initiative advantages in military operations. Generally, satellite or airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems face limitations due to their revisit cycles and fixed flight trajectories, resulting in single-view imaging of targets, thereby hampering the recognition of small SAR ground targets. In contrast, MiniSAR possesses the capability to capture the multi-view of a target by acquiring images from different azimuth angles. In this research, our team utilizes a self-developed MiniSAR system to generate multi-view SAR images of real ground armored targets and recognize targets. However, the recognition of small targets in SAR images encounters two significant difficulties. First, small targets in SAR images are prone to interference from background noise. Second, SAR target deformation arises from variations in depression angles and imaging processes. To tackle these difficulties, this paper proposes a novel SAR ground deformation target recognition approach based on a joint multi-view transformer model. The method first preprocesses SAR images based on a low-frequency priori SAR image denoising method. Next, it obtains multi-view joint information through a self-attentive mechanism, inputs joint features to the transformer structure. The outputs are jointly updated by a multi-way averaging adaptive loss function to improve the recognition accuracy of deformed targets. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in SAR ground deformation target recognition, outperforming other representative approaches such as information fusion of target and shadow (IFTS) and Vision Transformer (ViT). It is concluded that the proposed method has high recognition accuracies of 98.37% and 93.86 % on the moving and stationary target acquisition and recognition (Mstar) and our SAR images dataset, respectively, in the field of SAR ground deformation target recognition. We have included links to the code and data in the abstract of this paper for ease of access. The source code and sample dataset are available at https://github.com/Lvjiming/MJT.

Airborne Short-Baseline Millimeter Wave InSAR System Analysis and Experimental Results

For the challenges of high-precision mapping in complex terrain, a novel airborne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) system is designed. This system, named ASMIS (Airborne Short-Baseline Millimeter-Wave InSAR System), adopts the coplanar antenna and a pod-type structure. This design makes the system lightweight and highly integrated. It can be compatible with small general aviation flight platforms. The baseline is millimeters in size, which greatly simplifies the unwrapping process. The coplanar antennas have two advantages: they maximize the baseline utilization and minimize the Doppler decorrelation and the motion error inconsistency. Acquisition campaigns of the system have been carried out in Boao, Bayannur, and Chengde, China. In the Chengde experimental area, we designed an antiparallel flight experiment to account for the topographic relief. High-precision Digital Orthophoto Maps (DOMs) and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) at a scale of 1:5000 were obtained. The coordinate Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the checkpoints within the obtained DSM is less than 0.82 m in altitude and 3 m horizontally. The RMSE of the Sparse Ground Control Points (GCPs) within the obtained DSM is less than 0.3 m in altitude. Experimental results from different areas, including plains, mountains, and coastlines, demonstrate the system’s performance.

Parameter estimation of ground moving targets in synthetic aperture radar systems based on vortex echo data

Ground Moving Target Indication is a critical field within synthetic aperture radar (SAR) research, as traditional SAR images are defocused and displaced due to the target’s trajectory-direction velocity and radial velocity, respectively. Therefore, an accurate estimation of the target’s motion parameters is required. This study introduces a two-dimensional method for estimating target motion parameters using vortex SAR. It utilises the Bessel magnitude and spatial phase term from vortex echo data to calculate the pitch and azimuth angle, from which the motion parameters of ground slow-motion targets are derived. The proposed algorithm operates faster and has a lower computational cost than the traditional parameter estimation algorithm. Its efficacy was confirmed through simulation experiments and mean square error analysis of the estimated parameters.

The influence of groundwater use on land subsidence in Bandung City

Bandung is a developing city with a high need for groundwater for various needs. Many research studies say groundwater usage is one of the causes of land subsidence but the results mostly just take one side either land subsidence or groundwater. If land subsidence can be estimated through the value of groundwater use, then this can help prevent calamity. Therefore, a correlation between groundwater usage and land subsidence is sought to see how much groundwater usage influences land subsidence. Land subsidence research was conducted using the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) system with the SNAP application. The data used is the use of groundwater from 2017 to 2022 and Sentinel 1-A imagery of six images for annual research and sixty-six images for monthly research. The yield of the average settlement each year from January 2017 to May 2022 is approximately 5cm with a linear regression coefficient of determination of 21% while the groundwater use regression with subsidence per month is not linear but wavy. From this conclusion, another research can be developed regarding other factors causing land subsidence besides the factor of groundwater use which can then be seen how much influence these factors have on land subsidence that occurs.

Rainfall-induced Gravity Movement of the Unzen-Fugendake Volcanic Dome Analysis combining Ground-Radar Interferometry and XRAIN Rainfall radar system

Lava domes created by volcanoes often cause pyroclastic and debris flows, which have a significant impact on the surrounding infrastructure and population and have been the subject of much research. However, because volcanic domes tend not to survive the eruptions that form them, the instability of domes that survive eruptions such as Unzen Fugendake in Japan is both a poorly understood process and a danger. Therefore, the present contribution aims to (1) Displacement and precipitation from 2018 to 2020 for lava domes at Unzen volcano and their relationship to earthquakes, and (2) Haar wavelet analysis to understand the response of displacement to precipitation. The method is based on dome displacement from the Unzen Ground Based Synthetic Aperture Radar system and 48-hour rainfall from the MP radar rain gauge system. As a result, the authors confirmed the following: (1) precipitation of 150 mm or more in 48 hours tends to increase the vertical fluctuation of the dome, and even rainfall of less than 100 mm per 48 hours has a similar effect when it is repeated in an intensive manner; (2) After precipitation, major dome displacement can take days or weeks to occur, and is not instantaneous like the dome collapses in Soufriere and Merapi.

Unmanned Airborne Bistatic Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Data Processing Method Using Bi-Directional Synchronization Chain Signals

The bistatic Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) system can overcome the physical limitations imposed by the baseline of monostatic dual-antenna InSAR. It provides greater flexibility and can enhance elevation measurement accuracy through a well-designed baseline configuration. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with bistatic InSAR, having relatively low cost and high flexibility, are useful for mapping and land resource exploration. However, due to challenges including spatiotemporal synchronization and motion errors, there are limited reports on UAV-borne bistatic InSAR. This paper proposes a comprehensive method for processing data from small UAV-borne bistatic InSAR by integrating two-way synchronization chain signals. The proposed method includes compensation for time and phase synchronization errors, trajectory refinement with synchronized chain and Position and Orientation System (POS) data, high-precision bistatic InSAR imaging, and interferometric processing. Height inversion results based on the proposed method are also provided, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving the accuracy of interferometric measurement at calibration points from 0.66 m to 0.42 m.

A Multicomponent Linear Frequency Modulation Signal-Separation Network for Multi-Moving-Target Imaging in the SAR-Ground-Moving-Target Indication System

Multi-moving-target imaging in a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system poses a significant challenge owing to target defocusing and being contaminated by strong background clutter. Aiming at this problem, a new deep-convolutional-neural-network (CNN)-assisted method is proposed for multi-moving-target imaging in a SAR-GMTI system. The multi-moving-target signal can be modeled by a multicomponent LFM signal with additive perturbation. A fully convolutional network named MLFMSS-Net was designed based on an encoder–decoder architecture to extract the most-energetic LFM signal component from the multicomponent LFM signal in the time domain. Without prior knowledge of the target number, an iterative signal-separation framework based on the well-trained MLFMSS-Net is proposed to separate the multi-moving-target signal into multiple LFM signal components while eliminating the residual clutter. It works well, exhibiting high imaging robustness and low dependence on the system parameters, making it a suitable solution for practical imaging applications. Consequently, a well-focused multi-moving-target image can be obtained by parameter estimation and secondary azimuth compression for each separated LFM signal component. The simulations and experiments on both airborne and spaceborne SAR data showed that the proposed method is superior to traditional imaging methods in both imaging quality and efficiency.

A Novel Automatic Registration Method for Array InSAR Point Clouds in Urban Scenes

The array interferometric synthetic aperture radar (Array InSAR) system resolves shadow issues by employing two scans in opposite directions, facilitating the acquisition of a comprehensive three-dimensional representation of the observed scene. The point clouds obtained from the two scans need to be transformed into the same coordinate system using registration techniques to create a more comprehensive visual representation. However, the two-point clouds lack corresponding points and exhibit distinct geometric distortions, thereby preventing direct registration. This paper analyzes the error characteristics of array InSAR point clouds and proposes a robust registration method for array InSAR point clouds in urban scenes. It represents the 3D information of the point clouds using images, with pixel positions corresponding to the azimuth and ground range directions. Pixel intensity denotes the average height of points within the pixel. The KAZE algorithm and enhanced matching approach are used to obtain the homonymous points of two images, subsequently determining the transformation relationship between them. Experimental results with actual data demonstrate that, for architectural elements within urban scenes, the relative angular differences of registered facades are below 0.5°. As for ground elements, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) after registration is less than 1.5 m, thus validating the superiority of the proposed method.

RPCA-AENet: Clutter Suppression and Simultaneous Stationary Scene and Moving Targets Imaging in the Presence of Motion Errors.

Clutter suppression and ground moving target imaging in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system have been receiving increasing attention for both civilian and military applications. The problem of clutter suppression and ground moving target imaging in practical applications is much more challenging due to the motion error of the radar platform. In this article, we focus on the problems of clutter suppression and simultaneous stationary and moving target imaging in the presence of motion errors. Specifically, we propose a robust principal component analysis autoencoder network (RPCA-AENet) in a single-channel SAR system. In RPCA-AENet, the encoder transforms the SAR echo into imaging results of stationary scene and ground moving targets, and the decoder regenerates the SAR echo using the obtained imaging results. The encoder is designed by the unfolded robust principal component analysis (RPCA), while the decoder is formulated into two dense layers and one additional layer. Joint reconstruction loss, entropy loss, and measurement distance loss are utilized to guide the training of the RPCA-AENet. Notably, the algorithm operates in a totally self-supervised form and requires no other labeled SAR data. The methodology was tested on numerical SAR data. These tests show that the proposed architecture outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

A High-Precision Target Geolocation Algorithm for a Spaceborne Bistatic Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar System Based on an Improved Range–Doppler Model

A trend in the development of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology is the shift from a single-satellite repeated observation mode to a multi-satellite collaborative observation mode. However, current multi-satellite collaborative geolocation algorithms face challenges, such as geometric model mismatch and poor baseline estimation accuracy, arising from highly dynamic changes among multi-satellites. This paper introduces a high-precision and efficient geolocation algorithm for a spaceborne bistatic interferometric SAR (BiInSAR) system based on an improved range–Doppler (IRD) model. The proposed algorithm encompasses three key contributions. Firstly, a comprehensive description of the spatial baseline geometric model unique to the bistatic configuration is provided, with a specific focus on deriving the perpendicular baseline expression. Secondly, IRD geolocation functions are established to meet the specific requirements of the bistatic configuration. Then, a novel BiInSAR geolocation algorithm based on the IRD’s functions is proposed, which can significantly improve the target geolocation accuracy by modifying the range–Doppler equation to suit the bistatic configuration. Meanwhile, a low-coupling parallel calculation method is proposed, which can improve the calculation speed by two to three times. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm are demonstrated using experimental data acquired by the TH-2 satellite, which is China’s first spaceborne BiInSAR system. The experimental results prove that the IRD algorithm exhibits geolocation accuracy with an average error of less than 1 m and a standard deviation of less than 2.5 m while maintaining computational efficiency at a calculation speed of 1,429,678 pixels per second.
