Abstract

Often a crucial exploitation of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image requires accurate and precise knowledge of its geolocation, or at least the geolocation of a feature of interest in the image. However, SAR, like all radar modes of operation, makes its measurements relative to its own location or position. Consequently, it is crucial to understand how the radar’s own position and motion impacts the ability to geolocate a feature in the SAR image. Furthermore, accuracy and precision of navigation aids like GPS directly impact the goodness of the geolocation solution.
