Web-Enabled and Automatic Ground Processing Infrastructure Servicing the UAVSAR Airborne Missions

摘要

The UAVSAR (Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar) ground data processing infrastructure facilitates a wide range of mission operational processes through a centralized database, Web-enabled interfaces, and background automation. By tracking flight request submissions and flight planning activities, the database provides the most up-to-date historical records on how and when flight missions took place, as well as what radar data were collected. As data-collection missions wrap up, post-mission reports are uploaded to the database via a Web interface, while raw data are scanned into the database enabling the operator to perform polari-metric/interferometric processing on the radar data.
