Software tools
The following ESA software tools was used during the training
course:
- BEAM: Basic
ERS & Envisat (A)ATSR and Meris Toolbox. A collection of executable
tools and an application programming interface (API) developed to facilitate
the utilisation, viewing and processing of ESA MERIS, (A)ATSR and ASAR
data.
- BEST: Basic Envisat SAR
Toolbox. A collection of executable software tools developed to
facilitate the use of ESA SAR data. Handles SAR products obtained from
the ASAR (Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) onboard Envisat and the AMIs
(Active Microwave Instrument) onboard ERS 1&2.
- POLSARPRO: Polarimetric SAR
Data Processing and Educational Tool. Aims to facilitate the accessibility and
exploitation of multi-polarised SAR datasets including those from ESA Third
Party Missions (ALOS PALSAR), Envisat ASAR Alternating Polarisation mode
products and RADARSAT-2. A very comprehensive Polarimetry tutorial
is available here.
In addition, some of the practicals used ESRI ArcGis 9.1 and ArcView
3.2, readily available at the Institute, as well as ERDAS-IMAGINE, for
which temporary licences were made available, courtesy of GEOSYSTEMS France et Leica
Geosystems Geospatial Imaging.

SAR Interferometry
"InSAR Principles: Guidelines for SAR Interferometry Processing and
Interpretation", ESA TM-19, was distributed at the training course.
Professor Rocca, one of the co-authors of the book, presented the interferometry
part of the SAR theory during the training course.
ESA TM-19 has been produced as a text book to introduce radar interferometry
to remote sensing specialists. It consists of three parts:
Part A
is for readers with a good knowledge of optical and microwave remote sensing, to
acquaint them with interferometric SAR image processing and interpretation.
Part B
provides a practical approach and the technical background for beginners with
InSAR processing.
Part C
contains a more mathematical approach, for a deeper understanding of the
interferometric process. It includes themes such as super resolution and
ERS/Envisat interferometry.
