چکیده
RESUME The paper presents the results of land cover and crops identification achieved on the basis of the time series of 27 ENVISAT -1/ ASAR images acquired in Image Mode and Alternating Polarization Mode during the 2003 observing campaign for Malbork test site in northern Poland. The results are compared with those obtained from SPOT -4 multitemporal data. High degree of their similarity has been found. The synergetic aspect of the sensors was also analyzed. The results of work have shown that even a few ASAR images acquired in the medium of vegetation period can give good results in land cover and crop identification for this test area.

Interferometric ALOS PALSAR Fine Beam Single/Dual, multi-temporal ENVISAT ASAR Alternating Polarization, and Landsat-5 TM/-7 ETM+ data are used for the generation of land cover and change maps. In synthesis, the product generation foresees two main steps: The first one consists in a rigorous data pre-processing, including interferometric processing (PALSAR), geometric / radiometric calibration ...
متن کاملApplication of Envisat Asar Data for Alpine Land Use Classification
The advantage of ENVISAT ASAR over its predecessors, namely ERS-1 and ERS-2, as a land observation tool resides in its multiple polarization and multi-look angle capabilities. As a radar sensor the ASAR backscattering coefficient is sensitive to the moisture content of the scattering media and its geometrical properties (i.e. size, shape, roughness, and orientation). From the quantitative analy...
