Abstract

The potential of radar data, complimentary with optical data, for mapping and monitoring of wetlands will be investigated. Classification techniques with the aim of distinguishing wetland and dryland, will be evaluated, using ERS-SAR images, combined with SPOT VEGETATION images. Furthermorc, multi-incident, multi-polarisation and multi-temporal ENVISAT ASAR images will be used, with the aim of improving classification
