Estimation of surface topography from SAR imagery using shape from shading techniques

RT Frankot, R Chellappa - Artificial Intelligence, 1990 - Elsevier
In this paper a practical method is demonstrated for estimating topography of natural terrain
from the radiometric, or shading, information in a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image.
While this problem has been considered before for radar, methods available in the computer
vision literature have not previously been utilized in its solution. We treat this as a computer
vision problem, viz. shape from shading (SFS). A review of the relevant characteristics of
SAR imagery is presented followed by a formulation of the SFS problem for SAR. Because of …
