Title
Efficient Implementation Of Insar Time-Consuming Algorithm Kernels On Gpu Environment
Abstract
Satellite remote sensing radar technologies provide powerful tools for geohazard monitoring and risk management at synoptic scale. In particular, advanced Multi-Temporal SAR Interferometric algorithms are capable to detect ground deformations and structural instabilities with millimetric precision, but impose strong requirements in terms of hardware re-sources. Recent advances in GPU computing and programming hold promise for time efficient implementation of imaging algorithms, thus enhancing the development of advanced Emergency Management Services based on Earth Observation technologies. In this study, a preliminary assessment of the potentials of GPU processing is carried out, by comparing CPU (single-and multi-thread) and GPU implementations of InSAR time-consuming algorithm kernels. In particular, it is focused on the fine coregistration of SAR interferometric pairs, a crucial step in the interferogram generation process. Experimental results are discussed.
