Abstract
The application of high-resolution space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) becomes more and more popular because of its all-weather and all-time data acquisition capability. However, the interpretation of SAR image can be rather difficult since there are tremendous differences between SAR images and optical images. SAR image simulation is helpful for interpreting SAR images. In this article, a practical approach of SAR image simulation is proposed for urban structures based on Incremental Length Diffraction Coefficients and Shooting and Bouncing Rays (SBR). SBR adopts both GO (Geometrical Optics) and PO (Physical Optics) to calculate the scattered field of targets. Models of buildings with slope roof and flat roof are simulated and inversed. Inversion results coincide well with models and verify the high precision of our approach.
