Abstract :
Provides a review of the current status of radar applications in urban land use mapping, identifies the problems that have prevented the operational use of radar remote sensing in urban studies, and gives a preliminary assessment of the potential of multi-frequency, multipolarization, and multi-incident angle SAR systems for urban applications
