Course content
The interpretation and the analysis of the satellite and flight data is explained with its possibilities and restrictions. The geometric and frequence behaviour is also explained in this course. The practical use and aplication of the obtained information is summarized in the content. The main lectures are as follows: - Physical basis of the picture data in the micorwave frequency - Main satellite and flight data sources - Systems (SAR) - Systems (SLAR) - Geometric characterization of the picture data - The quality of the object, which was measured with the help of the radar signal - Dadar interferometrie - Interpretation of the radar data
