Biography: Wen Hong got her Ms.D and Ph.D in Northwestern Polytechnical Univ. (NPU) and Beijing Univ. of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA), P.R.China, in 1993 and 1997 respectively. From 1997 to 2002, she served as a faculty staff in the Dept. of E.E., BUAA. In between, she was a guest scientist in the Microwaves and Radar Institute in German Aerospace Center (DLR-HF) in 1998. She joined the National Key Lab of Microwave Imaging Technology (MITL), Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IECAS) since 2002 till now. As a researcher and a Ph.D. candidate program supervisor in the IECAS, her research interests are Pol/PolinSAR data processing, 3D SAR imaging, sparse signal processing in microwave imaging and etc. She was the Executive Chair for the Dragon3 Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing(MOST-ESA) in 2012, and she acts now as the Vice Chair, IEEE GRSS Beijing Sector.

Abstract: The target feature is sensitive to the aspect angle of SAR observation, making the interpretation and target recognition of the SAR image difficult. The information acquired from a certain aspect angle is partial and incomplete, and the multi-aspect observations might be an effective way to improve the SAR performance in this aspect. This presentation will discuss what extra information the multi-aspect observation can bring to us, and how to describe it. Besides the refined description of target’s geometrical feature, we will show the new arisen multi-aspect scattering feature and its description. The initial experimental results, both airborne and ground based, show that multi-aspect SAR observations have the encouraging potential in target fine feature description.
