Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-Dimensional Imaging with Synthetic Aperture Radar: Theory and Applications provides a complete description of principles, models and data processing methods, giving an introduction to the theory that underlies recent applications such as topographic mapping and natural risk situational awareness – seismic-tectonics, active volcano, landslides and subsidence monitoring - security, urban, wide area and infrastructure control. Imaging radars, specifically Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), generally mounted onboard satellites or airplanes, are able to provide systematic high-resolution imaging of the Earth's surface. Recent advances in the field has seen applications to natural risk monitoring and security and has driven the development of many operational systems. - Explains the modeling and data processing involved in interferometric and tomographic SAR - Shows the potential and limitations of using SAR technology in several applications - Presents the link between basic signal processing concepts and state-of-the-art capabilities in imaging radars - Explains the use of basic SAR processing tools and datasets
