Deep learning in remote sensing has received considerable international hype, but it is mostly limited to the evaluation of optical data. Although deep learning has been introduced in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data processing, despite successful first attempts, its huge potential remains locked. In this article, we provide an introduction to the most relevant deep learning models and concepts, point out possible pitfalls by analyzing special characteristics of SAR data, review the state of the art of deep learning applied to SAR, summarize available benchmarks, and recommend some important future research directions. With this effort, we hope to stimulate more research in this interesting yet underexploited field and to pave the way for the use of deep learning in big SAR data processing workflows.
