"Written as an introduction to the visual interpretation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images for numerous types of land use and land cover (LULC), this book will help practitioners and students to familiarize themselves with, and to expand their knowledge of, geographic information data conveyed from radar images. Through elements of interpretation such as the construct of tone, texture, pattern, size, and shape the book explains the rich unique context of many terrains. It provides also several SAR X- and C-band image examples of regional and large scale LULC ensembles, includes important explanations for each illustration and highlights selected SAR image applications"-- Provided by publisher.
