The training will feature theoretical discussions and hands-on basic processing procedures using data sets from active radar systems to show the limitations and error sources of each processing technique. Participants will extract information from the original SAR observations and integrate SAR data into a Geographic Information System (GIS). Algorithms and scripts on parameteric and non-parameteric models will be shared with participants.
