“…A widely used approach to verify the geolocation accuracy of SAR is based on artificial point-like targets deployed on ground [16]. Their positions in focused SAR images are measured and compared to the expected values that are derived from the knowledge of the target's on-ground coordinates and the determination of the satellite position at closest approach.…”

“…With the peak method, the target power is described by the pixel with the peak power (complex pixel amplitude squared) whereas with the integral method, the target power results as the sum of pixel powers over a relevant region around the target. It was shown that the integral method is advantageous as it leads to accurate results even if the image is not perfectly focused [21]. Thus the integral method was chosen for this analysis.…”

“…The radar brightness in turn equals sigma-naught divided by sine of the local incidence angle [22]. The above definition of radiometric calibration is related to the well-known integral method, [23]. The covariance matrix data are calibrated such that the radar cross section of a point target is the sum of the pixel values in the mainlobe times the pixel size of 25 m , and the sigmanaught value of a distributed target is the ensemble average of the pixels.…”
