Present and Future Airborne and Space-borne Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The state of the art of both airborne and space-borne SAR systems with polarimetric interferometry capability, their technological, system technical and application related specifications, and recent results obtained as well are presented shortly with respect to there relevance for Polarimetry and Interferometry capabilities. Space-borne SAR interferometry in two pass mode reaches altitude accuracies of about 10 m and in one pass mode of < 6 m. With differential interferometry accuracies in the cm range have been obtained. In order to reach these values an exact system calibration is indispensable. The calibration of space-borne systems will be discussed using SRTM as an example. The future development of space-borne systems will be discussed shortly also.

Mapping Palaeohydrography in Deserts: Contribution from Space-Borne Imaging Radar
Space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the capability to image subsurface features down to several meters in arid regions. A first demonstration of this capability was performed in the Egyptian desert during the early eighties, thanks to the first Shuttle Imaging Radar mission. Global coverage provided by recent SARs, such as the Japanese ALOS/PALSAR sensor, allowed the mapping of vast ...
متن کاملBuilding Recognition Based on Airborne and Space Borne Insar Data
Because of its independence of time of day and its all weather capability, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become a key remote sensing technique in the last decades. In the past, spatial resolution of space borne SAR systems was rather coarse, so the exploitation of building signature and even the reconstruction of buildings in dense urban areas based on InSAR data was restricted to commerci...

This paper describes the application of approximate methods to invert airborne magnetic data as well as helicopter-borne frequency domain electromagnetic data in order to retrieve a joint model of magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. The study area located in Semnan province of Iran consists of an arc-shaped porphyry andesite covered by sedimentary units which may have potential ...

Mankind is putting increasing pressure on the one and only Earth his race has to share, not only by sheer numbers but also, unfortunately, wasteful lifestyle. Those numbers and that lifestyle are causing many areas to become rapidly more vulnerable to a wide range of technological, environmental and natural hazards. It is generally agreed that the availability of proper geo-data is crucial for ...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Mapping with Small Satellites
Civil space-borne Earth surface mapping started in 1972 with a 80 m GSD provided by ERTS, later renamed to Landsat-1. Nowadays, the GSD approaches 1 m or even less. This trend was supported by the improvements in divers fields of technology as for instance optics, mechanics and materials, electronics, signal Optical Information Systems processing, communications and navigation. The space-borne ...
