5. East North incident wave lon lat INFLUENCE OF TOPOGRAPHY Local incidence angle: θ loc depends on: θ : the SAR incident angle φ : the viewing azimuth angle α : the absolute slope β : the slope orientation In the mosaic, the SAR geometry is almost constant: θ≈ 39˚ φ≈ 10.5˚ θ loc is fully described by the local topography ( α and β ). SAR geometry local topography
17. WATER BODIES HH-HV-HH White: α =0° Grey: buffer 10 pix Classified Pros: false detection (bare soil/low vegetation detected as water) is reduced Cons: some water bodies are missed
