Abstract
Geolocation using spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is essential for imagery applications, and high performance geolocation methods need to be developed to promote SAR imagery applications. Starting from the SAR imaging principle, this paper reveals and analyzes two basic characteristics of SAR imaging geometry, and demonstrates the rationality of the two characteristics. On this basis, a high-precision and fast geolocation method is proposed. We conducted a precision analysis on four SAR satellites (Germany’s TerraSAR-X, Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed, Japan’s ALOS-PalSAR and Canada’s Radarsat-2 satellites), and the results show that the precision of the proposed method meets practical needs. We then used TerraSAR-X SpotLight SAR real data to implement the fast geolocation, and found from performance evaluation that the computation cost is greatly reduced while high geolocation accuracy is maintained. We thus verified the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
