Radiometric Distortion Corrected Radar Backscattering Coefficient Data over Ilam, Iran using Kompsat-5 SAR Image

Flattening gamma naught was calculated using Korea Multipurpose Satellite 5 (KOMPSAT-5, K5) by correcting the radiometric distortion caused by geometric distortion over Ilam, Iran. The flattening gamma naught is not only the SAR core observation of Analysis Ready Data (ARD), which is utilized for ar...

description Flattening gamma naught was calculated using Korea Multipurpose Satellite 5 (KOMPSAT-5, K5) by correcting the radiometric distortion caused by geometric distortion over Ilam, Iran. The flattening gamma naught is not only the SAR core observation of Analysis Ready Data (ARD), which is utilized for artificial intelligence and big data, but also the basis for all fields of application that use the SAR brightness by providing the backscattering values only from surface characteristics. The flattening gamma naught data is provided with the same resolution as that of the K5 SAR image, so the data over the Ilam, Iran have the spatial resolution of the K5 Wide Swath mode of 20 m. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM with a resolution of 30 m was oversampled to generate the flattening gamma naught, and shadow areas where flattening gamma naught generation was not possible were identified using GIM layer information provided with the K5 image. In order to determine the reliability of the calculated flattening gamma naught, histogram analysis and tendency according to the incident angle were investigated, and the performance was verified by comparing it with other backscattering coefficients. Details of the algorithm and procedure are presented in previous studies and reference papers.
