Already van Diggelen (1951) made use of the photometric function of a surface for the purpose of translating image variegation into slope and relief information, while the development of a method for producing a topographic map from a photometric image begins with Rindfleisch (1966). The term 'photoclinometry' was invented for the involved process. The present study is concerned with the adaptation of photoclinometry to radar imagery. The radar image as a candidate for photoclinometry offers both advantages and disadvantages when compared to ordinary optical images. The simplicity of the photometric function is the most obvious advantage. Attention is given to radiative transfer, the employment of differential geometry, and aspects of calibration.
