Use Of SARAS In Post-processing Techniques

Abstract

A SAR raw signal simulator can be very useful in post processing techniques. In the following paper we deal with a first application of SARAS (Synthetic Aperture Radar Advanced Simulator) in edge-detection procedures. In particular, SARAS adpropriately simulates the raw signal received on board of the sensor, then we process it in order to produce the relative image. Henceforth post-processing techniques can be applied to the simulated image. Experiments are here shown: visual and quantitative inspections are in very good agreement with results obtained on real SAR images. Such outcomes encourages future work on such field. I
