J.; Wahl, Daniel E.; Eichel, Paul H.; Ghiglia, Dennis C.; Thompson, Paul A.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eModern airborne and spaceborne imaging radars, known as  \u003cem\u003esynthetic\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eaperture radars (SARs)\u003c\/em\u003e, are capable of producing  high-quality pictures of the earth's surface while avoiding some of  the shortcomings of certain other forms of remote imaging systems.  Primarily, radar overcomes the nighttime limitations of optical  cameras, and the cloud- cover limitations of both optical and infrared  imagers. In addition, because imaging radars use a form of \u003cem\u003ecoherent  illumination\u003c\/em\u003e, they can be used in certain special modes such as  \u003cem\u003einterferometry\u003c\/em\u003e, to produce some unique derivative image products  that \u003cem\u003eincoherent\u003c\/em\u003e systems cannot. One such product is a highly  accurate digital terrain elevation map (DTEM). The most recent (ca.  1980) version of imaging radar, known as \u003cem\u003espotlight-mode\u003c\/em\u003e SAR, can  produce imagery with spatial resolution that begins to approach that  of remote optical imagers. For all of these reasons, synthetic  aperture radar imaging is rapidly becoming a key technology in the  world of modern remote sensing. \u003cbr\u003e  Much of the basic `workings' of synthetic aperture radars is rooted in  the concepts of \u003cem\u003esignal processing\u003c\/em\u003e. Starting with that premise,  this book explores in depth the fundamental principles upon which the  \u003cem\u003espotlight\u003c\/em\u003e mode of SAR imaging is constructed, using almost  exclusively the language, concepts, and major building blocks of  signal processing. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eSpotlight-Mode Synthetic Aperture Radar: A Signal Processing  Approach\u003c\/em\u003e is intended for a variety of audiences. Engineers and  scientists working in the field of remote sensing but who do not have  experience with SAR imaging will find an easy entrance into what can  seem at times a very complicated subject. Experienced radar engineers  will find that the book describes several modern areas of SAR  processing that they might not have explored previously, e.g.  interferometric SAR for change detection and terrain elevation  mapping, or modern non-parametric approaches to SAR autofocus. Senior  undergraduates (primarily in electrical engineering) who have had  courses in digital signal and image processing, but who have had no  exposure to SAR could find the book useful in a one-semester course as  a reference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792396772\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1333-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 430\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45989126504588,"sku":"9780792396772","price":278.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792396772.jpg?v=1775761139","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792396772","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
