Abstract

To enhance the computational efficiency and authenticity of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image simulation of man-made scenes, computer graphics (CG) method was introduced into imaging geometry simulation, graphical electromagnetic computing (GRECO) was used for the interested target scattering calculation. With these two methods, the targets´ characteristics will be visualized in simulated image, such as shadow, foreshortening, layover and simple scattering property. The simulated SAR images can be used for target recognition, target detection, system verification and other researches.
