Synthetic aperture radar imagery using SOCET GXP®

Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides high resolution images for a multitude of applications. The main purpose of this work is to provide the reader to get accustomed to application oriented SAR data processing and visualization. This goal is achieved using BAE SYSTEMS SOCET GXP® software tool. The obtained results present a solid approach by using the tool for the exploitation of SAR images as a source for geospatial information and data regarding water resource detection, terrain feature extraction, vegetation health assessment among other applications.
