F05: Advances in Spaceborne SAR Imaging and Applications (1)

Tuesday, August 19  08:00-09:20,  Room #4

Session Chairs: Motoyuki Sato, Feng Xu

Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides high-resolution, day-and-night and weather-independent images for a multitude of applications ranging from geoscience and climate change research, environmental and natural disaster monitoring, global 2-D and 3-D mapping, change detection, 4-D mapping (space and time), security-related applications up to planetary exploration. By means of the development of new imaging technologies and techniques, a new era for innovative SAR applications has started. This session will provide an overview of the latest advancement in spaceborne imaging techniques and applications.
