Synthetic-Aperture Radar SAR Earth Observation, and Mapping

The use of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) has been somewhat limited, at least in spaceborne imagery and use in remote sensing. In large part, this is because of the complexities of processing and providing the data that are easy to understand, outside of a limited group of computational and geospatial specialists. However, now SAR is becoming more widely available and increasingly part of Earth observation satellites and data provided, including those sponsored by private companies such as ICEYE.[1]
