Deforestation monitoring in tropical regions using multitemporalERS/JERS SAR and INSAR data

摘要

The paper presents a study to assess the use of SAR data to mapand monitor deforestation in Sumatra, a region characterized by rapiddepletion of the rain forest. Two approaches, for foreston-forestmapping, are compared: 1$Temporal change approach using ERS and JERSdata, 2- Interferometric approach using coherence images from the ERSinterferometric pairs. The results obtained from both approaches andboth sensors are determined by comparing the results with SPOT HRV data
