Extracting urban water bodies from high-resolution radar images: Measuring the urban surface morphology to control for radar’s double-bounce effect

Satellite remote sensing is an effective method for extracting water bodies on a large scale. Radar imagery, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, can penetrate clouds and provide opportunities for water body identification when in situ observations are difficult to obtain because of sever...
