Abstract :
The processing of data acquired by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with advanced methods based on multidimensional imaging opens new perspectives in the monitoring of facilities in built environment. The availability of data acquired by recent meter-resolution satellite SAR sensors allows precise monitoring of even single buildings and infrastructures, therefore valuably helping in the detection and monitoring of exposed facilities. This paper deals with the potentialities offered by the use of SAR data in the framework of the built environment monitoring by discussing results obtained by the processing of Cosmo-Skymed data.
