Abstract :
In this paper, generation of a nearly continent-scale mosaic using the JERS-1 SAR data over Southeast Asia will be introduced. New approaches are to assemble the minimal number of the path images generated with the same processing parameter over a path and to reduce the radiometric and geometric tuning loads that are often needed in the mosaicing process
