sarMAPPER: A Real-Time Interactive SAR Tactical Mapper

Abstract

SARMapper is near-real-time, interactive software for generating high-accuracy tactical ground cover maps from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery using current-technology laptop computers. Such maps make it possible to automate the focus-of-attention mechanism that is the foundation of tactical image analysis, target detection, and target recognition. This document describes a proof-of-concept first instantiation of sarMapper and outlines further technical issues to be addressed in the 1997 sarMapper research effort.
