| 内容記述 | A technique for producing radiometrically calibrated SAR image products is described. The output imagery is corrected to represent a measurement of the ground reflectivity or radar cross section. The sources of calibration errors are discussed and the appropriate forms of the radar equation as applied to SAR-image data are reviewed. A key result is the radar equation dependence on the azimuth reference function used in processing. A radiometric correction algorithm for use in an operational SAR correlator is presented. This algorithm has the characteristic that it is fully reversible. Additionally, it can be applied equally to detected or complex SAR images, and it allows for the subtraction of the estimated noise floor in the image but does not require this procedure. |
