Parallel Coregistration Algorithm for Sar Images Based on Hadoop

As the availability of SAR images continues to grow, efficient coregistration of massive SAR images presents a greater challenge. Traditional serial coregistration methods impose an unbearable time overhead. To reduce this overhead and make full use of computing resources, a parallel coregistration strategy based on Hadoop is proposed for SAR images. The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is used to store SAR image data in chunks, and Hadoop's distributed computing strategy MapReduce is used to realize distributed parallel processing of SAR images. Two distributed parallel coregistration methods are presented with the proposed parallel strategy: one based on the maximum correlation method and the other on the DEM-assisted coregistration method. These methods are evaluated through coregistration experiments on the same dataset, and they are verified by comparing the coregistration results and processing time.
