Automatic extraction of rivers in tropical rain forests from JERS-1 SAR images using spectral and spatial information

Description

A fully automated method of extracting narrow rivers in tropical rain forests from JERS-1 SAR images was implemented using both spectral and spatial information. The system was divided into extraction of narrow rivers that appear as a series of line-like blobs and extraction of wide rivers that appear as dark continuous line-like features. The method was assessed by comparing the results from optical JERS-1 VNIR data and by applying 21 scenes in other areas in Amazon basin and Congo basin.
