Get Information from SAR Data Regardless of Experience

Why Synthetic Aperture Radar?


Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) offers unparalleled insight into the Earth’s surface, has the unique ability to penetrate clouds and smoke, and acquire data day and night.

In addition, SAR can monitor millimeter-scale changes over broad areas and provide information that can fill in the blanks left by other sensors. Until now, the complexity of processing and analyzing SAR data required specialized expertise.

Streamlined Workflows To Easily
Tap Into the Value of SAR

ENVI® SAR Essentials features streamlined SAR workflows for operational users. It automates and simplifies SAR data processing and analysis for the most common SAR applications. This enables users to get value from SAR data like they do optical imagery and to focus on the results rather than configuring parameters.



Powerful, user-friendly workflows designed to enhance your analytical capabilities.


Built with the user experience in mind, ENVI SAR Essentials ensures that everyone can efficiently harness the full potential of SAR data within the familiar ENVI interface. It is great for time-sensitive environments and seamlessly integrates SAR analytics into other geospatial workflows.

Amplitude Difference



Quickly generate an amplitude difference raster between two scenes to spot features that have changed, providing a straightforward tool for comparative analysis.

Amplitude Change Detection



Dive into the backscatter ratio between two amplitude images, an ideal feature for tracking large-scale changes across vast geographic areas or sudden disruptions in the landscape.

Coherent Change Detection



Employ this sophisticated analytic to detect extremely subtle changes between two images, using interferometric phase incoherence to reveal alterations invisible to the naked eye.

Color Sub-Aperture Generation



Create a visually engaging colorized sub-aperture image (CSI), where colorful streaks reveal the movement of objects within the scene, adding a dynamic layer to your analysis.

Dynamic Sub-Aperture Generation



Experience a unique way to observe movement by generating a series of rasters, with each representing a different squint angle and animating them to clearly illustrate the motion of objects.

Velocity Estimation



Utilize this analytic to display vectors that indicate the direction and speed of moving objects such as ships and vehicles, essential for security and monitoring purposes.

DSM Generation Workflow



Construct a Digital Surface Model (DSM) from phase difference information between two SAR Single Look Complex (SLC) images, enhancing elevation data accuracy.

Basic Data Processing



Effortlessly import and prepare slant-range SAR data for analysis. This tool supports nearly any SAR file format, presenting the data in an accessible format for further processing and exploitation.

Advanced SAR Data Processing and Analysis

ENVI® SARscape is designed for those who are knowledgeable about SAR data and processing and enables users to modify parameters to create the exact products they need. It supports all commercially available SAR datasets, including SICD, and is optimized for handling data of any size. With over 200 tools, ENVI SARscape is powerful and ideal for experts who may require extensive processing.




Work With Data In The Cloud and Enterprise

Work with your SAR data in modern computing environments, including cloud and enterprise settings, ensuring that users can efficiently analyze large datasets with precision and accuracy.

Support a Variety of Applications

Whether dealing with amplitude, single or multi-polarization, or a stack of images, ENVI SARscape provides the tools necessary for detailed observation and monitoring. It supports applications ranging from time series analysis of natural phenomena like volcanic activity and seismic events to detecting infrastructure deformations due to subsidence or construction failures.

Efficiently Prepare and Analyze Data 

Simplify the traditionally time-intensive preparation of SAR data, with automated tools that quickly ingest data and prepare it for analysis. This efficiency allows users to focus more on analysis and problem-solving rather than data preparation.

Reduce Noise and Automate Co-registration

With powerful tools like the De Grandi Spatio-Temporal filter, ENVI SARscape excels in reducing noise and speckle in SAR data, enhancing clarity and detail. Automatic co-registration speeds up processing workflows, facilitating faster and easier analyses.

Harnesses Both Amplitude and Phase Data

Comprehensive Amplitude and Phase Data utilization enables detailed analysis of height, surface changes, and displacement. This dual capability is crucial for applications such as agriculture, forestry, and infrastructure monitoring. By leveraging amplitude for physical surface details and phase for minute displacement detection, users gain a comprehensive understanding of both immediate and gradual changes affecting an area.
