Abstract :
In this paper, we present a novel urban area extraction method for High Resolution (HR) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images based on an iterated Foreground/Background Separation (iFBS) framework. The performance of the proposed approach is presented and analyzed on a TerraSAR-X HR SAR experimental data set.
