Abstract :
Urban remote sensing by ultra high resolution SAR opens possibilities of recognizing detailed structures and object features beyond the field known from SAR imagery showing meter resolution. SAR data with decimeter spacing or better are a challenge for automatic recognition and reconstruction of detailed structures which were until now extracted from optical data only. This paper addresses current activities on exploiting ultra high resolution SAR images of urban areas.
