Mapping Waste-disposal Sites in Riyadh Using Radarsat Imagery

Mapping Waste-disposal Sites in Riyadh Using Radarsat Imagery

A digital SAR image from the Canadian satellite Radarsat covering the city of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was used to test the potential of spacebome SAR systems for mapping waste-disposal sites. A PCI software was used to perform the various image processing operations. The results show th...
