Multibaseline (MB) SAR tomography (Tomo-SAR) is an advanced mode of SAR interferometry, allowing full 3D imaging of volumetric and layover scatterers along the azimuth, range and height dimensions. Recently, this technique has also been extended in a polarimetric sense (PolTomo-SAR), exploiting MB SAR data acquired with different polarization channels. In this way, the joint estimation is possi...

Antenna trajectory or motion errors are pervasive in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. Motion errors typically result in smearing and positioning errors in SAR images. Understanding the relationship between the trajectory errors and position errors in reconstructed images is essential in forming focused SAR images. Existing studies on the effect of antenna motion errors are limited to cer...

The Spaceborne Imaging Radar-c/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) mission was a cooperative endeavor of the United States, Germany, and Italy. The SIR-C/X-SAR scientific research program was a large international cooperative program of radar for Earth observation in which 13 countries participated, including China. SIR-C/X-SAR, with the ability to acquire polarimetric SAR and integer...

Ground moving target indication (GMTI) for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) provides information on non-static objects in radar imagery of a static ground scene. While general applications cover a wide area of topics from ocean current measurements to glacier ice flow, millimeter wave (mmW) SAR is well suited for traffic monitoring, reconnaissance, and identification of special target movements i...

Researchers commonly use species-area relationships (SAR) to estimate extinction rates caused by habitat loss by reversing the SAR, extrapolating backward from area to calculate expected species loss. We have previously shown that the backward SAR method considerably overestimates extinction rates due to a previously unrecognized sampling artifact. Jacob Bock Axelsen, Uri Roll, Lewi Stone, and ...

This paper treats the compression of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. SAR images are di cult to compress, relative to natural images, because SAR contains an inherent high frequency speckle. Today's state-of-the-art coders are designed to work with natural images, which have a lower frequency content. Thus, their performance on SAR is under par. In this paper we give an overview performa...

In a variety of plant species, the development of necrotic lesions in response to pathogen infection leads to induction of generalized disease resistance in uninfected tissues. A well-studied example of this "immunity" reaction is systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in tobacco. SAR is characterized by the development of a disease-resistant state in plants that have reacted hypersensitively to pr...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology is mainly used to obtain high-resolution images of ground areas in resolutions even less than meter. SAR is even capable of imaging a wide area of terrain and from two and more images it is possible to reconstruct a 3D digital elevation model of ground terrain. Good thing about SAR is an all whether operation and possibility to capture images under vari...

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a defense mechanism induced in the distal parts of plants after primary infection. It confers long-lasting protection against a broad spectrum of microbial pathogens. Lack of high-throughput assays has hampered the forward genetic analysis of SAR. Here, we report the development of an easy and efficient assay for SAR and its application in a forward genetic...
