Radargrammetry on Three Planets
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can provide useful images in situations where passive optical imaging cannot, either because the microwaves used can penetrate atmospheric clouds, because active imaging can "see in the dark," or both. We have participated in the NASA Magellan mission to Venus in the 1990s and the current NASA-ESA Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan, which have used SAR to...
متن کاملLarge Impact Features on Saturn's Middle-sized Icy Satellites: Global Image Mosaics and Topography
Introduction: With the approach of Cassini to the Saturn system, attention naturally focuses on the planet, its rings and Titan, but the Saturn system is also populated by a number of smaller satellites. The seven middle-sized icy satellites, along with those of Uranus, (between 400 and 1500 km wide) are distinctly different geophysically and geologically from their much larger Galilean-class b...
متن کاملPrecision Processing of Hirise Stereo Orbital Images for Topograpic Mapping on Mars
To build HiRISE image network with the best possible precision and accuracy, technical issues involving sensor geometry and absolute positioning need to be resolved. High-frequency random patterns, or “jitter”, in the rotation angles cause disagreements between HiRISE CCDs. To generate seamless topographic products, it is important to achieve coherence in the exterior orientation parameters bet...
متن کاملAccuracy Assessment of Radargrammetric Dems Derived from Radarsat-2 Ultrafine Mode
The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy and reliability of radargrammetric DEMs generated from RADARSAT-2 stereo pairs. Two ultrafine mode images U7 and U26 were acquired over an area in Istanbul from descending orbit, HH polarization, in SGF format. U7 and U26 were taken on August 2, 2009 and July 30, 2009 with view angles of 34.0 35.3 and 48.5 49.5 at the near–far edges, respecti...
متن کاملAssessment of the Potential of Terrasar-x with Respect to Mapping Applications Using Radargrammetric and Interferometric Techniques
The first German space mission TerraSAR-X was launched on June 15th, 2007. Within the TerraSAR-X science program of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Institute of Digital Image Processing of Joanneum Research (JRDIB) has gained a principal investigator status with respect to the assessment of the mapping potential of TerraSAR-X data using radargrammetric as well as interferometric techniqu...
