Abstract :
The capabilities of radiometric imaging of the environment with the German Aerospace Research Establishment (DLR) modular linescanner system are demonstrated. Efficient information enhancement algorithms have been shown to improve the data interpretation and evaluation. The following demonstration examples have been considered: cloud and fog penetration at 90 GHz; discrimination between agricultural and urban areas; discrimination between different vegetation types; detection of roads and vehicles; detection of airport patterns and airplanes; and ship detection and quantitative oil spill sensing.<>
