Multi-Dimensional Imaging with Synthetic Aperture Radar: Theory and Applications provides a complete description of principles, models and data processing methods, giving an introduction to the theory that underlies recent applications such as topographic mapping and natural risk situational awareness - seismic-tectonics, active volcano, landslides and subsidence monitoring - security, urban, wide area and infrastructure control. Imaging radars, specifically Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), generally mounted onboard satellites or airplanes, are able to provide systematic high-resolution imaging of the Earth's surface. Recent advances in the field has seen applications to natural risk monitoring and security and has driven the development of many operational systems. - Explains the modeling and data processing involved in interferometric and tomographic SAR - Shows the potential and limitations of using SAR technology in several applications - Presents the link between basic signal processing concepts and state-of-the-art capabilities in imaging radars - Explains the use of basic SAR processing tools and datasets

Gianfranco Fornaro received the M.S. degree (summa cum laude) in electronic engineering from the University of Naples 'Federico II in 1992 and the Ph.D. in 1997. Since 1993, he has been with IREA-CNR, where he now holds the position of Research Director, working in the area of airborne and spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processing, including SAR Interferometry and SAR Tomography. In 2013, he received the 'Full Professor" habilitation in Telecommunication, and in this area, he has been Adjunct Professor at several Universities in South Italy. Dr. Fornaro has been a visiting scientist at Politecnico of Milan and DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen (Germany), also during the 1996 SIR-C/X-SAR mission. He was a NATO lecturer in the Lecture Series SET 191 and SET 235, and since 2011, he has been also a lecturer at the International Summer School on Radar/SAR of the Fraunhofer Institute. He has been a convener, tutorial lecturer, chairman, and member of the program and organizing committee at the most important IEEE conferences. He has authored more than two hundred papers on SAR (peer-review journals and proceedings of international conferences). He received the Mountbatten Premium from the IEE Society in 1997, the 2011 IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters Best Paper award, and the 2011 best Reviewers mention of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing journal."
