Better Utilization of SAR Dynamic Range
Edward J. Dragavon · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 1977
Three general classes of image enhancement techniques for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) video were investigated through non-real-time computer simulation. The general categories were 1) monochromatic adaptive gray shade transformations, 2) pseudocolor encoding, and 3) feature analytic methods. The class of feature analytic techniques was found to have the greatest potential for improving the operational utility of SAR imagery.
