Controlling data collection to support SAR image rotation

DWPI Title: Synthetic aperture radar data collection performing method for synthetic aperture radar data collection system, involves adjusting collection operation and collecting data according to adjusted data collection operation
Abstract: A desired rotation of a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image can be facilitated by adjusting a SAR data collection operation based on the desired rotation. The SAR data collected by the adjusted SAR data collection operation can be efficiently exploited to form therefrom a SAR image having the desired rotational orientation.
Use: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) method for performing SAR data collection in a SAR data collection system for rotating a SAR image for aligning an aircraft's flight track.
Advantage: The method enables efficient adjustment of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data collection operation based on a desired rotation, and efficiently exploits SAR data collected by the adjusted SAR data collection operation, thus producing image with desired rotational orientation and facilitating optimal azimuth processing.
Novelty: The method involves providing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data collection operation that collects SAR data from which a SAR image that corresponds to a target is formed and is oriented in a predetermined reference orientation. The SAR data collection operation is adjusted based on a predetermined amount of rotation by which another SAR image corresponding to the target is to be rotated relative to the predetermined orientation. The latter data is collected according to the adjusted SAR data collection operation.
