Application Potentials of the planned RADARSAT Constellation

چکیده
The CSA is conducting a feasibility study on a constellation of low-cost small SAR satellites to ensure C-band data continuity beyond RADARSAT-2. The goal is to provide operationally SAR imagery for key maritime surveillance applications such as ship detection, oil spill monitoring, and sea ice mapping. Other applications focus on disaster management and SAR interferometry (InSAR) coherent change detection of land surfaces for geohazards, climate change, and environment monitoring. This paper provides an overview of the mission concept with a special focus on the application potential of the planned RADARSAT constellation.

Capabilities of Canada's planned RADARSAT Constellation
The CSA has initiated a feasibility study for a constellation of low-cost small SAR satellites to ensure C-band data continuity beyond RADARSAT-2. The concept involves three satellites with an option of flying up to six satellites. This is to provide operationally SAR imagery for key maritime surveillance applications such as ship detection, oil spill monitoring, and sea ice mapping. Other appl...
متن کاملInSAR Monitoring of High Risk Geohazard Areas using RADARSAT
In this paper, we report on the results of InSAR monitoring of several high-risk GeohazardsLandslides, Earthquakes and Volcanoesareas using RADARSAT 1&2 images. InSAR techniques are increasingly being used for geohazard assessment. Our research has shown that differential InSAR and coherent target monitoring techniques with installed corner reflectors are used to monitor landslide activity alon...
متن کاملThe RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM): Extending Operational Marine Surveillance for Environment Canada
Environment Canada is the largest Government of Canada user of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data produced by the Canadian RADARSAT missions. Near real-time imagery from both RADARSAT-1 and RADARSAT-2 are used operationally for daily ice monitoring and oil pollution detection programs. Additionally, Environment Canada is assessing the use of marine wind information extracted from SAR data to s...
متن کاملMoving to the RADARSAT Constellation Mission: Comparing Synthesized Compact Polarimetry and Dual Polarimetry Data with Fully Polarimetric RADARSAT-2 Data for Image Classification of Peatlands
For this research, the Random Forest (RF) classifier was used to evaluate the potential of simulated RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) data for mapping landcover within peatlands. Alfred Bog, a large peatland complex in Southern Ontario, was used as a test case. The goal of this research was to prepare for the launch of the upcoming RCM by evaluating three simulated RCM polarizations for map...
متن کاملC-Band Multiple Polarization SAR for Ice Monitoring – What Can It Do for the Canadian Ice Service
Through the use of Envisat ASAR Alternating Polarization (AP) mode data, the Applied Science Section of the Canadian Ice Service (CIS) has been investigating the utility of multiple polarization SAR data for operational ice monitoring. This work will help CIS develop initial guidelines and recommendations for use of multiple polarization data in preparation for future SAR missions, RADARSAT-2, ...
