SAR Sig Annual Report 2000-2001
The last year has been an interesting one for SAR researchers within the UK.
NERC and BNSC’s successful SAR and Hyperspectral Airborne Campaign (SHAC) acquired airborne SAR data in a variety of imaging modes over a wide selection of test sites throughout the British Isles. This multi-frequency, polarimetric and interferometric data, in combination with the hyperspectral data, should make a unique impact on the role of advanced remote sensing techniques to a range of applications. The results are eagerly awaited and it is expected that there will be a big turnout for the SHAC meeting early next year.
Following on from the successful SAR_SIG meeting held in Swansea last year, the University of Edinburgh hosted a similar one-day meeting in Apri1 2001. Speakers from a variety of institutes covered a range of topics from backscatter modelling to SRTM processing and recent results from SHAC.
Suggestions from Society members, particularly those formerly of the Photogrammetric Society, for specialised activities, such as workshops or one-day meetings, are always welcome.
