Dual-Frequency Airborne SAR for Large Scale Mapping of Tidal Flats

Digital elevation models of tidal flats are a most valuable data source for the water management of coastal areas and need frequent updates to account for changes in sedimentation, erosion and identification of damages in building infrastructure. This paper presents the conceptual design, the proces...
