Registration and Exploitation of Multi-pass Airborne

High resolution multi-pass, airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is useful for surveillance and remote sensing applications. We present a technique for registering multiple high resolution SAR images, acquired from Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) and other airborne platforms. A global aane transformation derived from the sensor acquisition parameters is used to automatically register the images, followed by a reenement to correct for translational errors. The registered SAR images are used for improving the accuracy of segmentation maps, and estimating heights of objects and target orientation angles.
