Microwave Radar-based Imaging Toolbox (MERIT)

MERIT is an open-source MATLAB framework for developing, optimising and testing microwave imaging algorithms. MERIT is freely available under an Apache License 2.0 (see LICENSE.md for more details).

Why use MERIT?

MERIT is designed to be efficient, extensible and allow for rapid prototyping of microwave imaging algorithms. All algorithms are designed to run on both central processing units (CPUs) and graphical processing units (GPUs) without modifying the code; making it easy to optimise and reduce the computational time.

Quick Start Guide

MERIT uses MATLAB 2014b or higher.

The complete [Getting Started Guide](Getting Started) summarises the steps required to download and run MERIT. A step-by-step script is provided which loads the sample data acquired using the BRIGID dataset [1], visualises the signals, creates and views the imaging domain and performs beamforming.
