Wetland water segmentation using multi-angle and polarimetric Radarsat-2 datasets

The segmentation of open water areas plays an important role in the wetland monitoring. Moreover, a veil of mist often covers this kind of land and the use of optical sensors is quite limited. In this paper, the open water segmentation is applied over Radarsat-2 images acquired in the north west of France. Results obtained for different incidence angle are presented and validated using meteorological data.
