Abstract :
Multi-polarized L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar is investigated for its potential to screen earthen levees for weak points. Various feature detection and classification algorithms are tested for this application, including both radiometric and textural methods such as grey-level co-occurrence matrix and wavelet features.
