Global seasonal Sentinel-1 interferometric coherence and backscatter data set.

This data set is the first-of-its-kind spatial representation of multi-seasonal, global C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometric repeat-pass coherence and backscatter signatures. Coverage comprises land masses and ice sheets from 82° Northern to 79° Southern latitudes. The data set is derived from multi-temporal repeat-pass interferometric processing of about 205,000 Sentinel-1 C-band SAR images acquired in Interferometric Wide-Swath Mode from 1-Dec-2019 to 30-Nov-2020.

Style grammars for interactive visualization of architecture.

Interactive visualization of architecture provides a way to quickly visualize existing or novel buildings and structures. Such applications require both fast rendering and an effortless input regimen for creating and changing architecture using high-level editing operations that automatically fill in the necessary details. Procedural modeling and synthesis is a powerful paradigm that yields high data amplification and can be coupled with fast-rendering techniques to quickly generate plausible details of a scene without much or any user interaction.
