Opticks - Basic SAR Processing Tools: Geocoding and stereo measurement

by Andrea Nascetti for OSGeo - Open Source Geospatial Foundation

Overall, my project proposal concerns the development of the main tools necessary for SAR imagery georeferencing and orthorectification, exploiting the full capabilities of the sensor. In particular, I would like to include in Opticks a robust rigorous orientation model for two SAR high resolution sensors: RADARSAT-2 and TerraSAR-X. In addition, I will provide an handy tool to perform 3D stereo measurements.
