Radar image of Wallerfing in the C-band
Radar image of Wallerfing in the C-band
The colour coding of the radar image indicates the type of vegetation coverage and the soil characteristics. The range of colours reflects the varying amounts of backscattering of the radar signal at different polarisations. Dark areas, on the other hand, indicate smooth, level surfaces that only return the radar signal weakly. In this image, roads stand out as black lines. This is a fully polarimetric RGB image of the Wallerfing test region, created using data acquired in the C-band (five centimetre wavelength) on 12 May 2014.
