Abstract:<p>Using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter imagery can enable faster detection of landslides compared to optical images, particularly where there is persistent cloud cover or shadows. However, SAR images are underutilised for this purpose. This is partly due to the more complicated pre-processing requirements, and also due to the less intuitive interpretation of landslide signatures in SAR, relative to optical images. The problem of landslide identification in SAR backscatter imagery is … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
