Recent L-C- and X-band MetaSensing Airborne SAR Campaigns for Emerging Applications

Abstract

This paper presents three recent (2017–2019) campaigns performed by the MetaSensing SAR system over different frequencies, in order to support the development of emerging applications. The L-band campaign data set are related to the full-polarimetric Bistatic SAR campaign at L-band, in Belgium, to allow investigations on agriculture monitoring and crop growth. The C-band campaign data set are related to single-pass monostatic InSAR at C-band in Norway to support further use in the carbon stock estimation context. The X-band campaign data set are related to full polarimetric high resolution single-look-complex SAR imagery at X-band acquired every hour over same area of Rotterdam to support potential applications with high revisit imagery rate.
