JPL multipolarization workstation - Hardware, software and examples of data analysisA low-cost stand-alone interactive image processing workstation has been developed for operations on multipolarization JPL aircraft SAR data, as well as data from future spaceborne imaging radars. A recently developed data compression technique is used to reduce the data volume to 10 Mbytes, for a typical data set, so that interactive analysis may be accomplished in a timely and efficient manner on a supermicrocomputer. In addition to presenting a hardware description of the work station, attention is given to the software that has been developed. Three illustrative examples of data analysis are presented.
