    Synthetic aperture radar image simulator for interferometry
    (2001) Wray, Lisa Shannon; Inggs, Michael R; Wilkinson, Andrew J
    An interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) simulator was created for the purposes of experimenting with and demonstration of the interferometric process, mission planning and radar image interpretation. The simulation method employs image statistics and terrain geometry to form a synthetic image and requires inputs of a digital elevation model (DEM), flight path, description, radar parameters, a terrain classification map and temporal decorrelation factors. Output images include the following images: radar cross section, power, total coherence, temporal cohernece factor, geometrical coherence factor, absolute phase, interferograms and flattened interferograms.
