Depending upon the relation between the DEM [Digital Elevation Model] and radar resolutions, the interpolation method used to resample from map to radar image geometry can become important. Bilinear interpolation uses the appropriate weighting to distribute the contribution of the local illuminated area into four adjacent radar geometry pixels. 2, record 1, English, - bilinear%20interpolation%20resampling
