We present a research project, funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), aimed at performing 2D and 3D Focusing of COSMO/SkyMed (CSK) SAR Data. We describe the main objectives of the project, briefly illustrate employed techniques, and finally present the obtained results. The latter show that sub-meter resolution can be achieved in the enhanced spotlight CSK acquisition mode, and that by using 3D focusing it is possible to resolve scatterers at different slant heights within the same range-azimuth resolution cell, even in areas characterized by severe height discontinuities and large thermal dilations effects.

Abstract

We present a research project, funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), aimed at performing 2D and 3D Focusing of COSMO/SkyMed (CSK) SAR Data. We describe the main objectives of the project, briefly illustrate employed techniques, and finally present the obtained results. The latter show that sub-meter resolution can be achieved in the enhanced spotlight CSK acquisition mode, and that by using 3D focusing it is possible to resolve scatterers at different slant heights within the same range-azimuth resolution cell, even in areas characterized by severe height discontinuities and large thermal dilations effects.
