The Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR) is an international conference devoted to SAR technology development and applications. The APSAR is a forum of SAR engineers and scientists from all over the world, especially from the Asia-Pacific region. The bi-annual APSAR conference will be held every two years in China, Japan, Korea, Australia, and Singapore, in turn.
