Description
Summary:In this paper, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Reectometry, GNSS-R, Delay-Doppler Maps (DDMs) are processed to provide added value products for imaging remote sensing. In particular, actual DDMs collected by the UK TechDemoSat-1 sensor are processed in order to reconstruct the Normalized Radar Cross section field for marine scenarios including non homogeneous elements, i.e. sea/land and sea/ice transition. The result consists of a radar image of the observed scene able to complement data provided by sensors dedicated to imaging remote sensing.
