Title
Extraction of African urban and rural structural features using SAR sentinel-1 data
Abstract
This research assesses the use of SENTINEL-1 SAR data for the extraction of human settlements and the morphological analysis of African cities. Textural features from single polarization amplitude image and dual polarization decomposition products were extracted for this assessment and compared to urban morphological map. The results show that SENTINEL-1 textural features may be useful in the separation between different African types of cities while the dual polarization decomposition products are more useful for inner-urban analysis.
