Software tools
The following ESA software tools was used during the training course:
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.
