Digital imaging algorithms developed over the last thirty years have made remarkable progress in our ability to make accurate images of planets, ocean floors, and the interiors of living organisms. Algorithms used in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) have many similarities with those used in x-ray computerized axial tomography (CAT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and acoustic imaging, and radio astronomy. While these disciplines have evolved in many complex ways, several key aspects of digital image processing can be understood using concepts from a standard undergraduate mathematics curriculum.
