REDUCING AND PROCESSING SIMULATED AND REAL-WORLD RADAR DATA

A system for filtering RADAR data includes one or more graphical processing units (GPUs) for performing steps of a filtering process in parallel. For example, a first GPU or first portion of GPU circuitry calculates a threshold parabola for a tensor of RADAR data. In parallel, a second GPU or second portion of GPU circuitry separately reduces and indexes the tensor for comparison to the threshold parabola. The threshold parabola is compared to reduced and indexed data to filter the RADAR data. Importance sampling can also be used to reduce data, e.g., if the RADAR data includes four dimensions (range, Doppler, azimuth, and elevation).
