Taking an innovative look at Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR), this practical reference fully covers new developments inSAR and its various methodologies and enables readers to interpretSAR imagery
An essential reference on polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR), this book uses scattering theory and radiative transfertheory as a basis for its treatment of topics. It is organized toinclude theoretical scattering models and SAR data analysistechniques, and presents cutting-edge research on theoreticalmodelling of terrain surface. The book includes quantitativeapproaches for remote sensing, such as the analysis of the Muellermatrix solution of random media, mono-static and bistatic SAR imagesimulation. It also covers new parameters for unsupervised surfaceclassification, DEM inversion, change detection from multi-temporalSAR images, reconstruction of building objects from multi-aspectSAR images, and polarimetric pulse echoes from multi-layeringscatter media.
Structured to encourage methodical learning, earlier chapterscover core material, whilst later sections involve more advancednew topics which are important for researchers. The final chaptercompletes the book as a reference by covering SAR interferometry, acore topic in the remote sensing community.
* Features theoretical scattering models and SAR data analysistechniques
* Explains the simulation of SAR images for mono- and bi-staticradars, covering both qualitative and quantitative informationretrieval
* Chapter topics include: theoretical scattering models; SAR dataanalysis and processing techniques; and theoretical quantitativesimulation reconstruction and inversion techniques
* Structured to enable both academic learning and independentstudy, laying down the foundations first of all before advancing tomore complex topics
* Experienced author team presents mathematical derivations andfigures so that they are easy for readers to understand
* Pitched at graduate-level students in electrical engineering, physics, earth and space sciences, as well as researchers
* MATLAB code available for readers to run their ownroutines
An invaluable reference for research scientists, engineers andscientists working on polarimetric SAR hardware and software, Application developers of SAR and polarimetric SAR, remote sensingspecialists working with SAR data - using ESA.
