The USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) X-, C-, and L-Band SAR Data Collection Program.

Abstract

This report presents the results of data collection program performed for the U.S. Geological Survey. Twenty-two passes of high resolution (3m), multifrequency (X-, C- and L-band) and multipolarization (VV and VH) imagery were collected over five test sites within the North Carolina Digital Project Area. The SAR used for this program was the ERIM/CCRS CV-580 SAR System. This report presents diagrams of the ground swath of each SAR pass, along with representative SAR imagery which illustrates the high quality of the data set. The engineering assessment performed on the SAR imagery is discussed. The optical and digital SAR data products generated for this program are summarized, including the first-order geometric and radiometric corrections applied to the digital data. Keywords include: Synthetic aperture radar; Multifrequency; Multipolarization; North Carolina Digital Project Area; and Vegetation.
