Use of coregistered radar, visible and IR images for geologic remote sensing
Abstract
The Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR-A) obtained images over the southern portion of the San Rafael Swell in eastern Utah. SEASAT SAR and LANDSAT MSS images and thermal inertia data from the Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM) were correlated with the SIR-A data. Radar images obtained with different incidence angles and different illumination directions were compared with images obtained in other portions of the spectrum for geologic remote sensing.
