Potentials for change detection using Seasat synthetic aperture radar dataSynthetic aperture radars (SAR) image from a non-nadir position. Thus the orientation of the target and sensor to one another is of paramount importance. This has posed problems for data interpretation and with the potentials of radar data for change detection studies. It is possible to use Seasat radar data for change detection even though the look directions are fixed for each location. Especially in areas with repeated coverage on descending or ascending orbits or where the terrain is flat and the targets nonoriented, coverage may be sufficient to provide data for change detection. Examples of Los Angeles and the Everglades of Florida help develop and support the argument.
