  • Abstract
    The use of Synthetic Aperture Radar to assist Search and Rescue in the location of downed airplanes is being explored in studies at Natural Resources Canada (Canada Centre for Remote Sensing). Test imagery in polarimetric mode is being acquired b the C-SAR on board the Environment Canada Convair-580. This paper discusses algorithm studies and recent results.
