Extracting Geocoded Images From SAR Data

Abstract

SAR imagery automatically put onto map in desired projection. MAPJTC designed to rectify and transform standard image output of digital synthetic-aperture-radar (SAR) correlator into image registered with geocoded map, without manual tiepointing or other interaction with operator. Reduces procedure to two one-dimensional passes, thereby saving computer time. Program written in FORTRAN (84 percent), APAL (2 percent), and MAXL (14 percent).
