Description
This volume describes how SAR imagery is formed, how SAR processing affects image properties, and provides specific guidance in selecting and applying analytical techniques. It aims to help the reader assess which components of an SAR image should be measured. Filled with real-world examples from various SAR systems, the book details techniques for: SAR filtering, parameter estimation, image reconstruction, segmentation and classification; evaluating measurement algorithms to help make better algorithm selections; and applying powerful speckle removal methods to airborne and spaceborne SAR data.
