Abstract :
This work is devoted to the definition and application of a processing chain for rapid mapping using TerraSAR-X data, The approach is based on a quick extraction of spatial features such as linear and textural elements of the scene, and their combination with the original SAR data. The suitability of such procedure for an operative use is proved by the results shown on a simulated and two real TerraSAR-X data sets.
