Official Description

Next-generation radars (especially synthetic aperture radar (SAR)) collect data with massive data rates. Traditional image compression is not optimized for raw radar returns. Recent work extends neural compression to the complex SAR domain. Phase I is to explore autoencoder architectures for radar data using, for example, a complex-valued neural network encoder/decoder that learns to compress raw pulses or range-Doppler maps into a latent code with minimal distortion. The system could be trained...
