VxGeocode(tm) V1.1 is a general software system for geocoding imaging SAR data using available Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The terrain model provided by the DEM is used to correct foreshortening distortions. The SAR data is then radiometrically corrected to reflect the true incidence angle at each point in the image. The resulting image is then coregistered to the DEM and stored in a user-specified format (including CEOS format, used by scientists dealing with radar remote sensing data). The system is extensible to other sensors in addition to Airsar and ERS-1.
