Abstract

Vexcel has developed a ground processing system for ERS, JERS and Radarsat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. The system consists of a hardware-based direct-to-disk data downlink capability, and an integrated software system. The software includes generalized frame synchronization, scene framing, and CEOS level zero product generation, as well as SAR single-beam and ScanSAR processing, interferometry, and orthorectification capabilities. All functions including hardware control and software functionality are integrated under an easy-to-use graphical user interface
