Towards a 20 m Global Building Map from Sentinel-1 SAR Data

Towards a 20 m Global Building Map from Sentinel-1 SAR Data

This study introduces a technique for automatically mapping built-up areas using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscattering intensity and interferometric multi-temporal coherence generated from Sentinel-1 data in the framework of the Copernicus program. The underlying hypothesis is that, in SAR i...
