A SAR-Based Index for Landscape Changes in African Savannas [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Change detection is one of the main applications in earth observation but currently there are only a few approaches based on radar imagery. Available techniques strongly focus on optical data. These techniques are often limited to static analyses of image pairs and are frequently lacking results which address the requirements of the user. Some of these
