Land Applications Of Radar Remote Sensing

Download or read book Land Applications of Radar Remote Sensing written by Damien Closson and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to demonstrate the use of SAR data in three application domains, i.e. land cover (Part II), topography (Part III), and land motion (Part IV). These are preceded by Part I, where an extensive and complete review on speckle and adaptive filtering is provided, essential for the understanding of SAR images. Part II is dedicated to land cover mapping. Part III is devoted to the generation of Digital Elevation Models based on radargrammetry and on a wise fusion (by considering sensor characteristic and acquisition geometry) of interferometric and photogrammetric elevation data. Part IV provides a contribution to three applications related to land motion.
