E. David Jansing presents The Renaissance of Synthetic Aperture Radar
November 18, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
Event Navigation
Synthetic Aperture Radar is a sensing modality that relies on reflected radio waves to generate an image of the scene. Until just recently, SAR was considered a boutique remote sensing asset: difficult to interpret and difficult to exploit. However, SAR’s coherent nature means that it’s rich in information. With the onset of commercial SAR in the US, SAR is coming into its own as a 24/7, all-weather imaging modality. This talk will describe the basics of SAR and many of the applications that SAR is known for and possible applications as commercial SAR becomes ubiquitous.
