An Efficient Implementation of a Robust Phase-Unwrapping Algorithm.

A robust phase-unwrapping algorithm has been recently proposed and applied to accurately locate fast moving targets in multifrequency antenna array synthetic aperture radar imaging. This algorithm is based on two dimensional (2-D) searching and its complexity may be high. In this letter, we propose an efficient implementation of the robust phase-unwrapping algorithm. We show that the range of the 2-D searching, and therefore the complexity of the robust phase-unwrapping algorithm, can be significantly reduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
