Interpretation of an urban scene using multi-channel radar imageryFour channel, SLAR imagery was studied by a group of individuals having no previous experience with either SLAR imagery or the urban area under scrutiny. This tactic was used because it was desired to define the nature of training needed when introducing people to radar imagery of urban scenes. Responses resulting from interpretations based on standard photointerpretation methods were subjected to a Chi-square analysis to determine the level of significance of the interpretations. For the urban scene studied, and for the two wavelengths (X /3.0 cm/ and L /23.0 cm/ Band) and polarizations (HH and HV) used, several types of urban land use were easily and accurately identified. It is shown that little formal training is required for obtaining quite high interpretation accuracies from multi-channel radar images of some urban scenes.
