摘要: 随着无人机技术的快速发展,机载合成孔径雷达(SAR)以高分辨率、高机动性和低成本等特点成为多云雾山丘地区的主要遥感手段,但机载SAR计算资源有限且分析过程需要耗费大量时间,因此降低了无人机对外界环境的响应能力。针对机载SAR成像过程中的多视处理、旋转放缩和图像量化算法,从简化计算、优化访存和减少条件分支3个方面出发,在ARM Mali-T860 GPU架构上实现基于OpenCL的并行优化策略。实验结果表明,与基于CPU的SAR成像算法相比,优化的多视处理、旋转放缩和图像量化算法分别取得了17倍~62倍、48倍~74倍及31倍~33倍的计算性能提升,且能够实现跨平台应用。

Abstract: With the rapid development of drone technology,airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) has become the main remote sensing solution for cloudy and hilly areas due to its high resolution,high maneuverability,and low cost.However,the computing resources of airborne SAR are limited and its analysis process is time-consuming,which reduces the responsiveness of drones to external environment.Therefore,this paper describes the implementation of an OpenCL-based parallel optimization strategy on the ARM Mali-T860 GPU architecture for the multi-view processing,rotation scaling and image quantization algorithms in airborne SAR imaging.The optimization strategy is designed to simplify calculations,optimize memory access,and reduce conditional branches.Experimental results show that compared with the CPU-based SAR imaging algorithms,the performance of optimized multi-view processing,rotation scaling and image quantization algorithms is 17~62 times,48~74 times,and 31~33 times respectively what it was,and the optimized algorithms can be used for cross-platform applications.
