This paper introduces a new approach for utilizing the multi-resolution wavelet decomposing for shoreline change rate detection from RADARSAT-1 SAR image. The wavelet approximation of the Two RADARSAT-1 SAR images (1998-2004) defined by the sum two-dimensional wavelet functions at different scales and locations. The raw RADARSAT-1 SAR images were decomposed into a low and high frequencies image...
