Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology relate to system, methods, and devices for capturing, processing, and rendering synthetic aperture radar data captured by a radar-based imaging system on graphical processing units based on a hive-cell mapping using a tessellation of a Goldberg polyhedron. In some embodiments, SAR data is produced by a radar-based imaging system. A computing apparatus receives the SAR data and associates at least a portion of the SAR data to one or more cells of a Goldberg polyhedron that covers the globe in approximately equally sized hexagonal or pentagonal cells based at least on a location of the SAR data. The computing apparatus provides the portion of the SAR data associated with one or more cells of the Goldberg polyhedron to one or more GPUs, and then processes the SAR data on each of the one or more GPUs to construct images from the SAR data.
