Description

SAR processing in Geomatica is an advanced course that explores data preparation, processing and analysis techniques for working with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data.

In this 3-day course, participants will explore data processing techniques in Focus including ingesting, calibrating and displaying SAR data. The course will take participants through applying radiometric enhancements, processing detected data (single or dual polarization), performing unsupervised coherent and incoherent polarimetric decomposition, analyzing polarimetric discriminators and performing coherent change detection with polarimetric data.

This course also covers the SAR Polarimetry Target Analysis (SPTA) tool. Participants will explore how to define a series of target and perform an in deep analysis of their polarimetric properties. Numerical and graphical outputs, including customized histogram and polarimetric response plot, will be generated and analysed. The complementary features between Focus and SPTA will be explored.

Topics Covered
  • Data Calibration
  • Polarimetric Analysis
  • SAR Imagery Classification
  • Coherent Change Detection
