The PHARUS familiarization programme

The familiarization programme is aimed at the acquisition of PHARUS data to demonstrate the potentials of PHARUS for a number of selected applications to potential end users. In order to demonstrate the value of the system for each applications, interpretation of the data acquired has been carried out by the users involved in this project. The selected applications are: land use classification, cartography in tidal areas, road detection, oil spill detection, ocean bottom topography, detection of ships and ship wakes, moving target detection crop classification, forestry applications and precision farming. PHARUS = Phased Array Universal Synthetic Aperture Radar.
