In August 2004 the Canadian Forces undertook Exercise Narwhal near Pangnirtung on Baffin Island. DRDC Ottawa participated in a supporting role, providing corner reflectors to simulate several crashed satellite debris fields and RADARSAT-1 synthetic aperture radar data collects in interferometric pairs and triplets. The interferometric data provided images for demonstration of coherent and non-coherent change detection. This report assesses the detection of the deployed satellite debris fields as well as ...

Polarimetric SAR Interferometry: Investigations using EC CV-580 SAR Data

Authors: Karim E. Mattar; Chen Liu; Ramin Sabry; DEFENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CANADA OTTAWA (ONTARIO)

This study examines the potential applications of polarimetric SAR interferometry (Pol-InSAR). Pol-InSAR is a new and unique methodology that combines the resources of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) for target classification with the capability of interferometric SAR (InSAR) for height discrimination. In this report, the Pol-InSAR literature is reviewed. Two field trials in Ottawa and Petawawa are described that collected Pol-InSAR data in 2002 using the Environment Canada's Convair-580 in ...
