1. A system comprising:
- a radar structure including;
a radar transmitter for transmitting a radio wave toward a target; and
a radar receiver for receiving a reflection radio wave of the radio wave reflected by the target and converting the reflection radio wave into a radar reflection signal;
a digital camera adjacent to the transmitter for receiving light from the target and converting the received light into a light signal; and
a processor having a non-transitory memory including instructions for processing the radar reflection signal and the light signal to generate an image of the target which is a function of both the radar reflection signal and the light signal, said processor configured to execute said instructions.

Abstract
A scanning system uses synthetic aperture radar and photography. The system is capable of conjoint use of image data developed by these and other scanning apparatus to form a model of a zone. In some versions, the model includes subsurface image information. Methods for use to scan and for implementation of images and models developed by the scan are also disclosed.
