Satellite SAR and urban remote sensing: status and perspectives

摘要

This paper aims at providing a few ideas about urban remote sensing and satellite SAR data. Instead of looking for future systems and providing hints about high resolution SAR, this paper shows that even with current satellite SAR data it is possible to obtain interesting results that stretch their usefulness beyond usual applications. In doing so, this paper briefly reviews the status of research in SAR urban remote sensing and highlights some of the perspectives still open for research.
