Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry is a remote sensing technique which has two primary earth science applications: topographic mapping and subtle surface deformation monitoring. Although the end application is earth science, radar interferometry processing and interpretation draw from several engineering disciplines. Many current research topics in signal processing (analog and digital), electromagnetics, acoustics, and communications are relevant to the radar interferometry problem.
This talk will provide: (1) a review of radar interferometry principles; (2) examples of interferometry applications; and (3) an overview of processing and interpretation issues and their relation to signal and image processing.
