Keywords
- Radar, SAR, Signal processing, Image processing, DRI, Localisation
Advantages
- Largest range of state of the art SAR sensors in Europe.
- Unique combination of advanced hardware technology and signal/image processing.
- Multiple connections with European Research Establishments to conduct innovative studies with state of the art experimental facilities.
Testing
- Remote sensing with polarimetric, interferometric high resolution radar imagery:
- A large range of possible host platforms (aircrafts, helicopters, UAVs) dedicated to military, civil or dual applications carrying various radars sensors from 400 MHz to 95GHz, with X-track interferometric (3D imaging), Along-track interferometric (ATI) and polarimetric capabilities at high resolution (less than 0.5m).
- Combined use of electro-optical sensors (visible and infrared domains) for richer multi spectral information and a more robust intelligence gathering.
Expertise
- Multiple data acquisition campaigns and image analysis
- Over 15 years of experience in:
- HF to EHF sensors development
- SAR processing, innovative digitally generated waveforms
- Design & realisation of integrated system (platforms + sensors + exploitation)
- Image interpretation
SAR radar image of a rural & urban area - Southern France. Maroon areas are mainly bare soils; Green areas are surfaces covered with vegetation; Blue points indicate the presence of buildings or artificial structures.
