Abstract :
Cylinder tanks appear as arcs in SAR image. It is found the radius of some arcs is bigger than the radius of the tank. To analysis this phenomenon, combining the scattering theory and the principle of SAR, a novel prediction model about the SAR image of cylinder tanks, including the tanks with fixed top and floating top, is proposed. Analysis on details of the SAR image of the tanks is provided by the prediction model. Several experiments are implemented.
