Land Applications of Radar Remote Sensing

0

Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) is a type of radar data that can be used to generate 3D images of terrestrial object, such as topography. SAR images have multiple applications in remote sensing and topographic mapping of surfaces.

The images are created from radio pulses that are transmitted towards a target area, then received and recorded. The pulse waves are ussually transmitted and received with a single beam antenna, and the wavelengths used can be anywhere from a meter to a few centimeters.

The book Land Applications of Radar Remote Sensing demonstrates the use of SAR with topography and land cover. The authors go into extensive details on speckle and adaptive filtering, as well as digital elevation models (DEMs) and terrain modeling.

This remote sensing book is completely free to read online as well as download in PDF format.
