... DInSAR [differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar] can measure differential propagation delay with millimetric accuracy as in the case of the C-band synthetic aperture radars of the European Sentinel-1 satellites.

OBS

synthetic aperture radar; SAR :[A] synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is a side-looking imaging radar usually operating on either an aircraft or a spacecraft. The radar transmits a series of short, coherent pulses to the ground producing a footprint whose size is inversely proportional to the antenna size, its aperture. Because the antenna size is generally small, the footprint is large and any particular target is illuminated by several hundred radar pulses. Intensive signal processing involving the detection of small Doppler shifts in the reflected signals from targets to the moving radar produces a high resolution image that is equivalent to one that would have been collected by a radar with a much larger aperture.

Area correlation tracking(ACT) is an effective solution for tracking targets that have neither prominent features nor high contrast with the background. The essential step in area correlation tracking is to find the position of best-fit between the reference image of the terrain surrounding the desired target to the real-time scene acquired by an imaging sensor.

Brain reading uses the responses of multiple voxels in the brain evoked by stimulus then detected by fMRI [functional magnetic resonance imaging] in order to decode the original stimulus. Brain reading studies differ in the type of decoding(i. e. classification, identification and reconstruction) employed, the target(i. e. decoding visual patterns, auditory patterns, cognitive states), and the decoding algorithms(linear classification, nonlinear classification, direct reconstruction, Bayesian reconstruction, etc.) employed.

DEF

The angle defined by the incident radar beam and the vertical (normal) to the intercepting surface.

CONT

The incidence angle is commonly used to describe the angular relationship between the radar beam and the ground, surface layer or a target. A change of the radar illumination angle often affects the radar backscattering behaviour of a surface or target. The incidence angle changes across the radar image swath; it increases from near range to far range. In the case of satellite radar imagery, the change of incidence angle for flat terrain across the imaging swath tends to be rather small, usually on the order of several degrees. In the case of an inclined surface(slope), the local incidence angle is defined as the angle between the incident radar beam and a line that is normal to that surface. The local incidence angle determining, in part, the brightness, or image tone, for each picture element(pixel) and slope facet, is a key element in the prominent rendition of terrain features in radar imagery.

OBS

incidence angle: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

To target a specific area on the Earth disk, the scanning thresholds can be set so that a reduced number of forward scan lines are included in each scan cycle. Since these reduced scans can be completed in less time than a full Earth disk scan, reduced scans can provide imagery with a higher temporal resolution than that of the normal half-hourly full Earth disk scans. This mode of scanning is often referred to as reduced scanning or rapid scanning. It should be noted that in rapid scan imaging mode the spin rate, the stepping rate, the number of pixels per line of image data and the resolution of the image data are identical to that for normal full Earth disk scans.
