Glacier monitoring using spaceborne SAR intensity images

Meer over het boek

For mapping of glacier regions and their velocity field of the surface, intensity images of Radar remote sensing are exploited. The supervised classification of glacier areas is based on sparse vector representations. The estimation of glacier surface motion is conducted via point like features and robust phase correlation. The experiments are carried out using TerraSAR-X images of Taku glacier in Juneau Icefield and Baltoro glacier in Karakorum.
