Analysis and Visualization of Synthetic Aperture Radar Data
Senior Project: 1995-1996
Jessica Henthorne, James Miller, Yuriy Shterk and Kurt Van Horn
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of Pasadena, CA has developed some unique
radar data. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a technology used by many
scientific disciplines for remote sensing of the Earth by producing high
resolution radar images from aircraft or spacecraft. JPL has developed an
airborne interferometric SAR (TOPSAR), which allows the direct measure of
topography in addition to the usual radar image. Vexcel's goal was to develop
software to allow interactive display and analysis of this AIRSAR/TOPSAR data,
and for saving the various images resulting from this activity. The software
was developed for UNIX workstations using an object-oriented approach and C++.
The user interface was developed with Motif.
