Abstract :
Post processing reconstruction and resolution enhancement algorithms can be applied to Cassini Titan Radar Mapper data to improve the image resolution for scatterometermode imagery. Reconstruction algorithms can also yield enhanced resolution images when multiple passes are combined. This paper briefly describes the application of the AVE and the Scatterometer Image Reconstruction (SIR) algorithms to Cassini Radar data. Some sample results are provided. A comparison with the Backus-Gilbert algorithm is also provided.
