Assessment of the performance of X-band satellite radar data for landslide mapping and monitoring: Upper Tena Valley case study
The aim of this work is to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of using the new X-band SAR data acquired by TerraSAR-X sensors for landslides mapping. This dataset has been processed using a Persistent Scatterer Interferometry technique over the Upper Tena Valley (Central Pyrenees, Spain). In t...
