Description
Synthetic aperture radar provides broad-area imaging at high resolutions, which is used in applications such as environmental monitoring, earth-resource mapping, and military systems. This book presents the tools required for the digital processing of synthetic aperture radar images. These tools are of three types: the elements of physics, mathematical models and image processing methods adapted to particular applications.
