Abstract :
Our results have shown that selective processing of RADARSAT-1 images has assisted in regional terrain mapping of large areas the northern boreal forest region in Canada. Terrain roughness information derived from RADARSAT-1 when fused with high resolution DEM data provided image maps that are useful for landform interpretation.
