RAT (Radar Tools) is a powerful software tool for processing SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remote sensing data. It is easy to extend, and should bring modern SAR algorithms to a wider user base by simplifying the data handling and processing of complex SAR data.

Recent releases


Changes: RAT is now capable of scripting (without a GUI), can use external binary plugins, and has greatly simplified tiling code. For users, mainly the new TerraSAR-X import is appealing.


Changes: The license was changed to the Mozilla Public License version 1.1. New routines were added for PolDInSAR phase and height estimation from MB-PolInSAR data, for individual basis transformation per pixel, for branch-cut (Goldstein) phase unwrapping, and for importing some more ASF SLC formats. The RoA edge detector routines were corrected. Various small improvements and bugfixes were made.


Changes: This release contains the new multibaseline PolInSAR module and many improvements to the PolSAR classifiers. Several bugs have been fixed.


Changes: Many stability fixes and a crash handler for catching possible bugs. Additionally, multitemporal analyses can be performed.


Changes: Several new import filters, improved speckle filtering, classification, and many new PolInSAR routines.
