SAR Geocoding: Data and Systems

Fülszöveg

The Editor
Dipl.-Geophys. Gunter Schreier, born 1958 in Düsseldorf, obtained his diploma in geophysics at the University of Munich. Since 1985 he has been working at the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) ot the German Aerospace Research Establishment (DLR) in Oberptatfenhoten. As project head he has been responsible for the development and implementation of the ERS-1 SAR Geocoding System GEOS at the DFD. He is specialized in radar mapping and is member of various international working groups dealing with the evaluation of satellite images with regard to environmental problems. Since 1992 he leads the development and integration of Data and Information Systems towards future ground data systems at DFD.

The Book
This book gives an overview of the principles of SAR processing, geometric effects of SAR and parametric geocoding of SAR, both ellipsoid and terrain corrected. The new geocoded data sets and the systems and ancillary information to generate these data are described in detail, Basic applications and analysis procedures with the data are described in order to help to understand the content of the geocoded SAR images. Several authors from the German Processing and Archiving Facility (D-PAF) of DLR in Oberpfoffenhofen and other research groups, who actively contributed to algorithms and system aspects of SAR geocoding, contributed chapters of this reference book. An overview of current on - going activi-' ties in Europe in this domain concludes the chapters. This volume is intended to introduce new SAR data users as well as those starting with SAR data and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to the principles of SAR data geocoding and to give experts a detailed overview of used references and algorithms.
