Reading material

The goal of this learning material is to give you a very basic understanding of SAR remote sensing and Geo-Spacial data.

Tutorial provided by NRCAN(Natural Resources Canada):

This Document is an introduction to general remote sensing concepts. There is a lot there, but sections 1, 2, 3, and section 5.8 should be helpful. Click here

Here is a guide to Sentinel-1 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) imagery:

The glossary should be most helpful. Listed here are a lot of commonly used terms when it comes to SAR data. Click here

A review of remote sensing and earth observation provided by NASA:

Introduces some general concepts and applications. Click here

Automatic Identification system on ships:

You just need to learn enough to know what AIS means and how it works generally. Click here

Intro to GIS and Spatial Analysis:

A complete walk through to Geographic Information System, which is a multicomponent environment used to create, manage, visualize and analyze data and its spatial counterpart. Click here to go to the first resouce and click here to go to the second resource.

Note: Some of this information is very high-level and will be hard to understand without a remote sensing background, so if you feel the information is too complex, do not worry about it.
