Mapping wetlands using multi-temporal radarsat-1 data and a decision-based classifier

The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of multi-temporal RADARSAT-1 data and a decision classifier for mapping the Lower Islands of the Paraná Delta wetland in Argentina. The information-extraction strategy was based on identification of the interaction mechanisms occurring betwe...
