Inhalt:
The SAR geolocation accuracy using TerraSAR and TanDEM-X data has been demonstrated to be into centimeter level with no need of any reference frame. This paper is intended to show potential applications over maritime scenarios based on precise absolute measurements. Two specific applications are discussed and analyzed. The first one is to measure ships 2D velocity using TanDEM-X products. The second application is monitoring possible offshore platforms displacements using TerraSAR and TanDEM-X data.
