ISARLAB - Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Simulation - Defence ...

DSTO-GD-0210Red, Green and Blue (RGB) values that are stored in an array into which the integerswill index. There are a number of colormaps that are available. More information oncolormaps is available in Section 9.1.4.2.Finally these numbers are the values that MATLAB uses to display the ISAR image.There are currently two representations of the ISAR image, namely a MATLAB surfaceplot and a MATLAB image plot. Both are intensity maps but have different propertiesthat are described in Section 9.1.4.1. In later versions it is anticipated that a number ofother representations of the final image could be available, e.g. waterfall plots, contourplots, etc.7. System DescriptionEach of the previous sections described a particular component of ISARLAB. It is nowappropriate to show how these components are combined to form an integratedsystem. A data flow diagram describing the ISARLAB system at the module level isshown in Figure 6. This graphic also shows how processing in the ISARLAB systemcan be separated into three stages:1. Generating Simulated Data or Reading Stored Data;2. Signal Processing; and3. Displaying the Processed Data.20
