In this paper, we propose an implementation of an efficient parallel Radon transform on TMS320C80-based system. For an N$\times$N SAR image, we can obtain O(NM/p) of the conventional parallel Radon transform, by representing the projection patterns in Radon space variables instead of the image space variables, and pipelining the algorithm, where p is the number of processors and M is the number of projection angles. Also, we can reduce the time for the dynamic load distribution among the nodes and the communication overheads of accessing the global memories, by pipelining the memory and processing operations by using tripple buffer structure. Experimental results show an efficient parallel Radon transform of speedup Sp=3.9 and efficiency E=97.5% for 256$\times$256 image, when implemented on TMS320C80 composed of four parallel slave processors with three memory blocks.
