A Processor-Based SAR Image Geocoding System

Reference No:

GIS 42-5

The presentation is a most detailed analysis of geocoding, defined as the removing of the topographic impact of a SAR image. The image geocoding system is based on the processing parameters, digital elevation models and satellite state vectors as input; the author introduced the satellite propagator used, its performance, and the target location calculation procedure.

Multisensor Mapping Using SAR in Conjunction with Optical Data

Reference No:

GIS 42-6

The author presents a unique application of SAR data. With multisensor data available, the objective was to merge/combine this data: specifically, to "combine a SPOT and SAR image for the purpose of stereo mapping". As software is the essential tool, the presentation outlines the software development and the application example.
