Message from the Conference Chairman
I am pleased to welcome you to the 8th EUSAR conference inthe wonderful city of Aachen!
Over the years the European Conference on SyntheticAperture Radar has evolved to become surely the most impor-tant international conference dedicated to SAR techniques,technology and applications. It has accompanied the worldwi-de evolution of high resolution imaging radar, both airborneand spaceborne, and has helped to establish an internationalcommunity of SAR engineers and scientists. The great suc-cess of previous EUSAR conferences (since 1996), togetherwith the overwhelming international response to EUSAR 2010,confirms this.
As in previous years, EUSAR provides an excellent forum forexchanging information and discussion on a wide variety ofSAR topics, representing the latest SAR developments andfuture trends. EUSAR 2010 will be an unique conference for allcolleagues involved in the field of synthetic aperture radar.
Over the years, dramatic improvements have been made in thefield of radar technology and applications. SAR has becomean individual discipline within the field of radar, finding manyapplications in civilian areas. Spacebased SAR has turned intoan outstanding and important tool for earth observation andreconnaissance.
Currently we are now in a very dynamic and challenging timefor SAR development with the approaching launch of TAN-DEM-X and a number of established spaceborne systems likeRADARSAT-2, COSMO Skymed, TECSAR, ALOS/PALSAR,TerraSAR-X, SAR-Lupe, and several others. Today's SARsystems are an indispensable data source for high resolution2D and 3D mapping, environmental and disaster monitoring aswell as security related applications. Information extractionhas achieved a mature and operational level in a number of dif-ferent fields, making the contributions of SAR systems to pre-sent and future programmes like GMES and GEOSS veryessential.
With more than 360 SAR experts, representing about 33 coun-tries from all over the world, coming together at such a con-ference, we can once again expect to achieve excellentresults.
In order to provide an outstanding technical level for the pre-sentations at the conference, we have invited more than 80distinguished experts in the SAR field to participate in the

sessions has been organised and there will be a special ses-sion on "Comparison of SAR, SAS, Sonography", which opensthe mind of the researchers beyond one's own field by lookinginto complementary fields.
Prior to EUSAR 2010 there is a tutorial day consisting of threeparallel courses. The conference itself starts with the plenarysession on Tuesday, where keynote speeches will be given bydistinguished experts. Throughout the remaining three con-ference days the four parallel oral sessions will be held inseparate halls. We have arranged the parallel sessions suchthat overlap of related research areas is kept to a minimum. Onthe first day of the conference the evening will be closed by thetraditional piano recital in the Eurogress centre, followed by areception in the Krönungssaal (town hall of Aachen). Posterswill be displayed throughout the three conference days.Special attention should be given to the interactive poster pre-sentation on Wednesday evening.
A Best Paper Award, a Best Poster Award and three StudentBest Paper Awards will be awarded at the closing session onthe last day of the conference. Finally, I would like to invite youto join the technical tour to Jülich Research Centre(Forschungszentrum Jülich) on Friday, which provides you witha close-up view of world-class research in the areas of health,information, environment, and energy.
All papers received by the deadline will be included in theEUSAR conference proceedings and on the conference com-pact disk.
I would like to express my thanks to all authors for their out-standing contributions and in particular the members of theprogram board for their competent evaluation of the largenumber of submissions. Likewise I would also like to expressmy appreciation to the program and awards committee, aswell as to the invited chairs for their careful preparation of theinvited sessions.
I am looking forward to seeing you in Aachen.

Tutorial 1: Multi-Baseline SAR Interferometry & Tomography
Konferenzraum 3
Introduction to SAR Interferometry: The lecture introduces thegeometrical, statistical, and processing aspects of SAR inter-ferometry (InSAR). While many flavors of InSAR are briefly tre-ated, across-track InSAR for DEM generation is discussed indetail including processing schemes and error sources. Theconcept of coherence and interferogram quality is explained.Phase unwrapping algorithms are presented. Multibaselineapproaches are shown to support phase unwrapping and 3Dreconstruction via tomographic approaches and PersistentScatterer Interferometry. Many examples from medium resolu-tion (ERS/ENVISAT) and high resolution (TerraSAR-X) SARsystems illustrate the theoretical parts.
Differential SAR Interferometry: Differential Synthetic ApertureRadar Interferometry (DInSAR) from Earth-orbiting spacecrafthas lately revolutionized the field of crustal deformation rese-arch and space geodesy. In this seminar, after presenting themathematical background of this technology, we show howmany applications related to surface deformation monitoringwith a huge potential impact on Civil Protection activities canbenefit from radar space measurements. Advanced DInSARalgorithms developed in the last decade, such as thePermanent Scatterer Technique and SqueeSAR, have signifi-cantly increased the precision and the reliability of DInSARmeasurements making it possible to use them on operationalprojects. Until recently, a limitation to the application ofDInSAR was the relatively long revisiting time of C-band and L-band satellites. However, the new generation of X-band radarsatellites can provide significant improvements and, in syner-gy with C-band sensors, will be a key-element for large-scalenational monitoring programs.
SAR Tomography: SAR tomography is the extension of con-ventional two-dimensional SAR imaging principle to threedimensions, usually achieved by the formation of an additionalsynthetic aperture in elevation by a coherent cobination ofseveral SAR images. This greatly extends the potential of SAR,particularly for the analysis of the inner structure of volumetrictargets, like for example forested and urban areas. This tutori-al introduces into the basic concepts of SAR tomography andthe different possible imaging geometries. Several 3D focusingalgorithms will be explained and reviewed, as well as theirextension towards the inclusion of polarimetric information.

Tutorial 2: Future SAR Systems: Principles and Applications
Konferenzraum 4
Bistatic SAR Systems: Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar isone of the newest research and development areas in radartechnology. Spaceborne, airborne and hybrid experimentshave been proposed and, frequently, successfully carried out,giving evidence of potentialities in wide applicative areas, ran-ging from oceanography, topography, and other Earth scien-ces to surveillance. The tutorial will introduce to Bistatic SAR,in particular by comparing its peculiarities, operation and per-formance with respect to conventional SAR. Main key issueswill be outlined and overall description at system level will bepresented. A review of potential application will be offered,highlighting achieved and achievable quantitative results, withspecial emphasis on terrain elevation and moving target velo-city measurements.
Multistatic and Multi-Aperture SAR Systems: This tutorial pro-vides an overview of multistatic and multi-aperture SARsystems. Such systems employ spatially distributed antennasto simultaneously acquire backscattering information frommultiple view angles. This information is well suited to impro-ve the performance and to acquire new information products.The tutorial is divided into two parts. The first part is devotedto the capabilities and challenges of advanced bistatic andmultistatic SAR systems. Various bi- and multistatic SAR con-figurations are introduced and their potential is assessed withregard to different remote sensing applications. Importantsteps in the mission design and optimization are explained bymeans of TanDEM-X which will be the first multistatic radar inspace. Further, major challenges such as phase and time syn-chronisation, bistatic SAR processing, safe formation flying aswell as relative position sensing are addressed. The secondpart is devoted to innovative multi-aperture and digital beam-forming radar systems. Such systems employ multiple parallelchannels on a single platform to overcome fundamental limita-tions of current SAR sensors. An important application is thedevelopment of novel high-resolution wide-swath SARsystems that will in the future significantly enhance the map-ping and monitoring capabilities for advanced remote sensingapplications. The focus of the tutorial will be on spaceborneradar systems, but some examples from airborne campaignswill also be provided for illustration.
Basics of GMTI and Applications with SAR: The presentationwill offer a review of the basics of Ground Moving TargetIndication (GMTI) radar from air- and space-borne platforms,

Tutorial 3: Polarimetric SAR and Polarimetric SAR Interferometry
Konferenzraum 5 + 6 +7
SAR Polarimetry: PolSAR remote sensing offers an efficientand reliable means of collecting information required to extractgeophysical and biophysical parameters from Earth's surface.This remote sensing technique has found many successfulapplications in crop monitoring and damage assessment, inforestry clear cut mapping, deforestation and burn mapping, inland surface structure (geology) land cover (biomass) and landuse, in hydrology (soil moisture, flood delineation), in sea icemonitoring, in oceans and coastal monitoring (oil spill detec-tion) etc. SAR Polarimetry represents today a very active areaof research in Radar Remote Sensing, and it becomes impor-tant to train and prepare the future generation of researchersto this very important topic. The aim of this tutorial is to provi-de a substantial and balanced introduction to the basic theo-ry, scattering concepts, systems and advanced concepts, andapplications typical to radar polarimetric remote sensing. Thislecture will be illustrated by ALOS-PALSAR, TerraSAR-X andRADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR images.
Introduction to POLInSAR: In this tutorial we show how polari-zation diversity can be combined with radar polarimetry to pro-vide important new tools for interpreting radar images wherewe observe a mixture of surface and volume scattering. Wefirst treat the signal processing aspects such as coherenceoptimization, the coherence region and baseline optimizationbefore considering the use of coherent 3-D scattering modelsfor geophysical parameter estimation, concentrating on thepopular RVOG or random-volume-over-ground model, poin-ting out its strengths and weaknesses. We then give an up-dated survey of techniques for estimation of vegetation heightand underlying surface topography before showing how theseparameters can then be used as a basis for 3-D imagingthrough polarization coherence tomography or PCT. We finishby showing examples from L, P and X bands and set the scenefor the follow on tutorial, which will consider POLInSAR appli-cations and system aspects in more detail.
Pol-InSAR Applications and Concepts: Building on the basicprinciples and concepts introduced in the first two tutorials,this third part concentrates on the applications and perfor-mance of Pol-InSAR techniques. Experimental results obtai-ned in the frame of dedicated Pol-InSAR airborne campaignsare reviewed with emphasis on performance aspects arisingfrom different temporal and geometrical acquisition implemen-tations. The role and choice of spatial and temporal baselines,

there including the detection, motion estimation, focusing, andrelocation of the mover on the surface. The specific require-ments for GMTI with monostatic and bistatic SAR systems willbe introduced, and the related signal processing techniqueswill be presented.
The potentialities of multi-channel vs. single-channel SAR willbe compared, showing the significant performance achievablewith the former and the limited - but yet valuable and intere-sting - results provided by the single channel SAR sensors.
Finally the exploitation of SAR constellations for GMTI will beconsidered, there including both MIMO configurations andpassive SAR configurations, with their potentialities.
