Asar Imp Image Quality (vv Polarisation)
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives details of image quality analysis of ASAR image mode IMP VV polarisation products performed during the ASAR commissioning phase. Initially, a description of the analysis methodology and performance assessment tools, image properties and example IMP products is given followed by the image quality analysis. This analysis includes format verification, impulse response function measurements, equivalent number of looks and radiometric resolution determination, analysis of azimuth ambiguities, localisation accuracy and the derivation of IMP noise equivalent radar cross-section.

متن کاملLai Estimation of Boreal Forest with Envisat Asar
A method for retrieval of leaf area index (LAI) using ENVISAT ASAR VV/HH polarisation ratio was derived for boreal forests. The swath range from IS1 to IS6 was studied. The VV/HH polarization ratio correlated quite well with the ground truth LAI values. The coefficient of determination was 0.76 for the sites when data from all 5 summer images and stands were used without separating between spec...
متن کاملGeometric Validation of Low and High-resolution Asar Imagery
We present issues and solutions concerning the calibration and validation of ENVISAT ASAR image products – both their geometry and radiometry are investigated. Concerning geometric calibration, the slant range products (IMS, APS) offer the best available resolution. We tabulate differences between measured (in image products) and predicted (via geodetic position, precise state vectors, and rang...
متن کاملGeometric Performance of ENVISAT ASAR Products
We describe validation measurements of the geometric accuracy of ASAR images, measured redundantly via independent methods. Our tests include image (IM), alternating polarisation (AP), and wide swath (WS) mode acquisitions over a variety of test sites. ASAR's slant range products (IMS/APS) require a slightly different validation methodology than ground range precision (IMP, APP) and medium reso...
متن کاملFirst Analysis of Envisat/asar Image Mode Products for Interferometry
This paper summarizes the first results on interferometric ENVISAT/ ASAR image mode products [1]. We analyzed timing and geometric accuracy as well as the phase of a first interferogram from an IS2 image mode data set (VV polarized). According to the schedule the image mode products of this beam products are the first to be validated [2]. This interferogram is one of the first ENVISAT/ ASAR int...
