Using 1D radar observations to detect a space explosion core among the explosion fragments: sequential and distributed algorithms

A radar observes the result of a space explosion. Due to the radar´s low horizontal resolution, we get a 1D signal, x(t), representing different 2D slices. Based on these slices, we must distinguish between the body at the core of the explosion and the slowly out-moving fragments. We propose new algorithms for processing this 1D data. Since these algorithms are time-consuming, we also exploit the possibility of parallelizing these algorithms.
