Radar Motion Measurements and Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Geolocation Accuracy
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Once a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image is formed, the natural question then is, "Where is this image?" and/or "Where exactly is this feature displayed in the image?" Thus, geolocation is an important exploitation of the SAR image. Since SAR measures relative location to its own position, it is crucial to understand how the radars position and motion imp acts the ability to geolocate a feature in the SAR image. Furthermore, accuracy and precision of navigation aids like GPS directly impact the goodness of the geolocation solution. These relationships are developed and discussed.
