Cowabunga – Spaceborne radar applied to tidal flat monitoring
This is a sample image for the project that I have been working on. Basicly the project goal is to see if Synthetic aperture radar images can be used to monitor tidal flats. The region of interest is the Waddenzee in the Netherlands. For the project we received 121 images that were taken since 1992. The raw data has to be extracted and converted to amplitudes. Using these amplitudes we can make images. As you can tell from the picture, you dont actually get a true color image but merely a representation of how much light is reflected back to the satellite.
