Integrate SAR with your remotely sensed data. Get the information you need.

The use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data has become increasingly popular in recent years, offering professionals in a wide array of industries a measurable, analytical approach to getting information about an area or object of interest. SAR is a sophisticated data type, acquired from airborne and spaceborne platforms, and can produce two or three-dimensional datasets of surface areas. When combined and merged with spectral imagery, SAR provides the additional, critical layer of information you need.

Now, the developers of ENVI offer the SARscape^® Family of Modules, feature rich add-ons that allow you to easily read, process, analyze and output your SAR data, while giving you the option to integrate that information with your other geospatial data and tools. This unique data analysis capability takes your data from hard-to-interpret numbers to meaningful, contextual information. And, because the SARscape® Modules are integrated with ENVI, you have the added benefit of superior spectral analysis tools and functions in one package.

Why Use SAR data?

SAR is a non-subjective approach to analyzing an area of interest. Used alone or in conjunction with other remotely-sensed data, SAR data provide a unique layer of information - exposing new details to help you make the most informed decisions possible. SAR allows you to:

• Generate accurate maps
• Perform change detection
• Measure small movements of objects
