11:15-12:30 Digital Beamforming Concepts
M. Younis (DLR)


12:30-13:45 Lunch


13:45-14:30 Digital Beamforming Concepts
M. Younis (DLR)

Content: The Digital Beamforming (DBF) SAR referes to synthetic aperture radar systems that utilize multiple receive channels in azimuth and/or elevation. SAR systems utilizing DBF can overcome the fundamental limitations of "conventional" SAR formulated through the minimum antenna area constraint. It becomes possible to operate the system in modes which provide simultaneous wide swath and high azimuth resolution. Basically DBF extends the trade space of SAR systems. However, while the multi-channel architecture offers various possibilities, it is necessary to adapt the operation mode, i.e. the way the hardware is operated, to yield the required performance. In the most general case this involves time varying beams both in azimuth and elevation. Understanding the operation mode is crucial in order to take advantage of the DBF capabilities.

P. Lombardo (Uni Roma)

Content: The Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) capability has always been a major requirement for air- and space-borne surveillance radar.  Recently, it has also become an important feature for both air- and space-borne SAR, where it requires the use of advanced signal processing techniques. Using SAR the aim is not only at detecting the moving targets, but also at estimating their motion and at appropriately focusing them.

The presentation addresses the basics of radar GMTI with specific emphasis to the peculiarities of SAR GMTI. Specific attention is devoted to moving targets autofocusing from air- and space-borne platforms. The potentialities of multi-channel vs. single-channel SAR are compared, showing interesting but different potentialities. Discussion of GMTI with monostatic, bistatic and MIMO GMTI SAR are introduced, with their processing techniques.

11:00-11:15 Coffee Break


11:15-12:30 Multi-Modal Polarimetric SAR and Applications
L. Ferro-Famil (University of Rennes)

Content: Polarimetric SAR measurements, which account for the full vector nature of electromagnetic scattering patterns, have been widely used to estimate and monitor geo-physical parameters of objects or media. Over complex environments, the characterization of wave scattering using polarimetric indicators may reach some limitations. In such cases, additional modes of diversity, over space, time or frequency, permit to significantly increase the power of discrimination and characterization of classical polarimetric analysis. This tutorial will first introduce several multi-modal polarimetric SAR configurations as logical and physical solutions to situations which reveal problematic when handled with polarimetric diversity only. Some multi-dimensional signal processing techniques, based on statistical and physical considerations, will be discussed and various applications, including classification, terrain characterization, object detection and identification, dense scene analysis and volumetric (3-D) imaging, will be presented.

Biography: Laurent Ferro-Famil received the Laurea degree in electronics systems and computer engineering, the M.S. degree in electronics, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Nantes, Nantes, France, in 1996, 1996, and 2000, respectively.

Experimental results obtained in the frame of dedicated Pol-InSAR airborne (and spaceborne) campaigns at different frequencies (X-, L- and P-band) are reviewed with emphasis on performance aspects arising from different temporal and geometrical acquisition implementations. The role and choice of spatial and temporal baselines and system frequency is investigated. The key system and geometry parameters affecting the performance of Pol-InSAR configurations are established and discussed.

Tutorial 4: SAR Exploitation in an operational environment

09:00-10:00 SAR Contribution for Vegetation Mapping
K. Papathanassiou (DLR)

Content: SAR Contributions to Forest Mapping: The role of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) configurations for forest mapping applications - play today and may play in the future - is discussed. The unique ability of (especially low frequency) SAR to penetrate into and through even dense vegetation, combined with the capability of modern SAR configurations to map the whole earth with high spatial and temporal resolution, make SAR an unique element for global forest monitoring. The tutorial introduces the basic concepts of SAR, SAR-Interferometrty, Polarimetric SAR Interferometry (Pol-InSAR) and SAR-Tomography, emphasises their information content and discusses the potential and limitations of each for forest monitoring applications. The individual points are illustrated by using examples from relevant air- and space-borne campaigns. Emphasis is set on the estimation of forest vertical structure by means of SAR measurements. The role of frequency, as well as actual and future spaceborne SAR configurations for global vegetation mapping are discussed.  


10:00-11:00  Earth's Crust in Motion
H. Sudhaus (Univ. Potsdam)

Content: This tutorial will discuss how we apply Synthetic Aperture Radar in geoscience to study our planet's plate tectonics and volcanism. It will be shown how with SAR interferometry we can measure very slow motions of tectonic plates or volcanoes of just some millimeters per year and what we learn from patterns within such high-resolution velocity measurements. For tectonically active regions, apart from general understanding, we can today identify regions undergoing a loading and building up of rupture potential, which may point to earthquake endangered regions. Furthermore, a lot is to be learned from investigating recent earthquakes through surface displacement maps that have been generated using SAR techniques. Earthquake ruptures can be imaged to large detail also at depth and  the results strongly support the global research on earthquake hazards. Similarly we study the processes inside volcanoes from SAR-measured surface displacements. In general, the successful observation of processes is tightly linked with the SAR sensors available and their acquisition specifications, which will also be an integrated topic of the tutorial.


Biography: Henriette Sudhaus is a “Berlinerin” and studied Geophysics in Potsdam and Karlsruhe before enrolling at ETH Zurich for her PhD studies. In Zurich she started to focus on earthquakes sources, which she analysed by measuring the induced surface displacements using SAR data. She continued in this research field as a postdoctoral researcher at the German Centre for Geosciences GFZ in Potsdam and now at the University of Potsdam. There she started to integrate also seismological observations aiming at a better understanding of earthquake-related processes through combined data analyses.

11:15-12:15 Surface Parameter Estimation: Basics and Advanced Concepts
I. Hajnsek (ETH Zürich, DLR )

Content: Soil moisture estimation in agricultural regions using active radar remote sensing is a research topic since several decades. Especially the availability of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors operating at longer wavelength (L-band) provide the synergy of a sufficient penetration through the agricultural vegetation cover and a distinct backscattering signal to obtain a convenient signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, SAR polarimetry allows the investigation of the physical properties of the complex agricultural scatterers by observing the changes in polarimetry, when the electro-magnetic waves interact with the different agricultural scatterers. In agriculture the presence of mainly three scattering contributions from the vegetation, the underlying soil and the combination of vegetation and the underlying soil represents a valid assumption at L-band. In this way, the acquired long wavelength data can be exploited with fully polarimetric decomposition techniques to separate agricultural vegetation from ground scattering components in order to extract the moisture characteristics of the underlying soil. In this tutorial new concepts are presented for the estimation of soil moisture using polarimetric SAR.
