Abstract:In this thesis, the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite images in potential mapping applications areas in Finland was studied. SAR is an active sensor using the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum in its pulses. Microwaves penetrate clouds, smoke and dust without noticeable attenuation, enabling all-weather and night-and-day satellite imaging. Because cloudiness is very common in Finland, SAR is of importance for monitoring purposes. Recently, the number of SAR satellites has increased notably. First, SAR images can now be acquired more frequently than before. Second, SAR images can be acquired in multiple polarization channels, different frequency bands and various imaging geometries using several satellites. As the dimensionality of SAR data increases, it can be expected that more automatic and sophisticated processes are needed.
