Abstract :
Microwave radiometer are passive low-resolution remote sensing sensors which measure the brightness temperature of the scene under survey. In order to enhance the spatial low-resolution limit a singular value decomposition (SVD) technique is here envisaged for scanning radiometers. Although this paper is theoretical in nature, it is of applicative relevance since it permits one to figure out some interesting multisensor data fusion techniques.
