Region-based Unsupervised Classification of SAR Images

Many applications in remote sensing, varying from crop and forest classification to urban area extraction, use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image classification. As ERCIM Fellows, we have studied the classification of land covers for a year. Our results on the classification of water, land and urban areas can be used by city administrators and planners to automatically classify related land covers in order to control the development of the city, while preserving its resources like forests and waters.
