Engineering for Professionals: Distinguished Speaker Series with E. David Jansing

Description

Johns Hopkins' E. David Jansing will give a talk titled " The Renaissance of Synthetic Aperture Radar" as part of the Engineering for Professionals: Distinguished Speaker Series.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a sensing modality that relies on reflected radio waves to generate an image of the scene. Until just recently, SAR was considered a boutique remote sensing asset: difficult to interpret and difficult to exploit. However, SAR's coherent nature means that it's rich in information. With the onset of commercial SAR in the U.S., SAR is coming into its own as a 24/7, all-weather imaging modality. This talk will describe the basics of SAR and many of the applications that SAR is known for and possible applications as commercial SAR becomes ubiquitous.
