Written for SAR system designers and remote sensing specialists, this practical new reference shows you how to produce higher quality SAR images using data-driven algorithms, and how to apply powerful new techniques to measure and analyze SAR image content.
The book describes how SAR imagery is formed, how SAR processing affects image properties, and gives you specific guidance in selecting and applying today’s most sophisticated analytical techniques. By helping you quickly assess which components of an SAR image should be measured, the book enables you to devote more time and energy to the real task of image interpretation and analysis.
