A new SAR interpretation method helps reveal the specific sources on three-dimensional targets that correspond to strong radar scattering in SAR images. By combining a customized differentiable Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) simulator with inverse optimization, the approach links bright scattering patterns in 2-dimensional (2D) SAR images to specific 3-dimensional (3D) structures.Mapping Radar Scattering Onto 3D Targets
