Technology based training for radar image interpreters

This document describes the need of training tools for radar image interpreters. Concepts, methods and solutions for supporting technology based training are presented and demonstrated by means of two examples: SAR-Tutor is a computer based training software for learning the basic principles of radar image interpretation. ViSAR is a simulator for exploring and understanding geometrical effects which occur in radar images. The interaction of these two tools and their use in operational training scenarios are explained.
