This book presents a unique collection of state-of-the-art contributions by international remote sensing experts focusing on methodologies to extract information about urban areas from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. SAR is an active remote sensing technique capable of gathering data independently from sun light and weather conditions. Emphasizing technical and geometrical issues, the potential and limits of SAR are addressed in focused case studies, for example, the detection of buildings and roads, traffic monitoring, surface deformation monitoring, and urban change. These studies can be sorted into two groups: the mapping of the current urban state and the monitoring of change. From Springer, 2010.
