Monitoring of Flooding in Urban Areas

2007 Urban Remote Sensing Joint Event, 2007
Urban areas are crowded environments, where a disaster can bring dramatic consequences, if not adequately forecasted and faced. Remote sensing instruments can be fruitfully used for both prediction and aid organization purposes. In particular, in this paper we present innovative synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques for the detection of a flooded ...
