RaySAR v1.1

Hello and thank you for your interest in RaySAR :-).

Below, you find the current release v1.1 of the 3D SAR simulator RaySAR (see further details inside the package). Feel free to test, improve, and expand it :-). Tailor it to your needs to get to know SAR imaging effects better and to support your scientific work. Feel free to give your feedback and contribute to a fruitful discussion in the RaySAR Google Group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/raysar).

Note: RaySAR 1.1. does not contain any changes of core simulation tools. That is, simulation results obtained with version v1.0 are the same than for v1.1. Improvements are related to the applicability (modeling tools) and visual appearance of RaySAR.

(Please note: RaySAR_1.1a contains a hotfix for a bug in MATLAB m-file Maps.m. Original RaySAR_1.1 has been removed.)

Using RaySAR_1.1a_compiled, you can run the MATLAB part of RaySAR on Linux systems without MATLAB license. As only prerequisite, you have to install MATLAB Runtime (R2017b) for Linux, which you get here: http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/index.html
!!! Please note that the POV-Ray part (compiled ray tracer) from RaySAR_1.1a.rar/RaySAR_1.1a.zip has to be added to complete RaySAR !!!

Please take a look on available RaySAR publications and applications here
