Abstract
Embodiments described herein simplify the recognition of objects in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. This may be achieved by processing the image in order to make the shadow caused by the object appear more similar to the object. Alternatively, this may be achieved by processing the image in order to make the layover caused by the object appear more similar to the object. Manipulation of the shadow caused by the object and the layover caused by the object may comprise altering the aspect ratio of the image, and in the case of manipulating the shadow caused by the image, may further comprise transforming the image by reflection or rotation. The aspect ratio of the image may be altered based on information about the image collection geometry, obtained by the SAR.
