This document describes a challenge problem whose scope is two-fold. The first aspect is to develop SAR CCD algorithms that are applicable for X-band SAR imagery collected in an urban environment. The second aspect relates to effective data compression of these complex SAR images, where quality SAR CCD is the metric of performance.A set of X-band SAR imagery is being provided to support this development. To focus research onto specific areas of interest to AFRL, a number of challenge problems are defined.The data provided is complex SAR imagery from an AFRL airborne X-band SAR sensor. Some key features of this data set are: 10 repeat passes, single phase center, and single polarization (HH). In the scene observed, there are multiple buildings, vehicles, and trees. Note that the imagery has been coherently aligned to a single reference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
