TL;DR: In this paper, a multispectral expert system used a neural network approach to provide Rapid Response thickness class maps using a spectral library approach based on the shape and depth of near infrared spectral absorption features.

TL;DR: The results show that synthetic aperture radar can be used to measure the oil volumetric concentration in a thick slick, and the most reliable indicator is the major eigenvalue of the coherency matrix, which is approximately equal to the total backscatter power for both oil in the slick and clean sea water.

TL;DR: In this article, a reconfigurable, polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is designed to acquire airborne repeat track SAR data for differential interferometric measurements.

TL;DR: It is shown that UAVSAR is a well-calibrated SAR system for polarimetric applications, with absolute radiometric calibration bias better than 1 dB, residual root-mean-square (RMS) errors of ~0.7 dB, and RMS phase errors ~5.3°.

TL;DR: In this paper, the rates of vertical motion are derived from interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) applied to Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR), acquired on 16 June 2009 and 2 July 2012.
