We have recently explored the use of large-scale, multi-temporal and multi-sensor imagery over the London basin, an area about 250 km-long, starting from 1992 up to date. This project was established as scope of an internship between the Imperial College London and TRE ALTAMIRA. By combining over 500 radar images from different satellites (i.e. ERS,…
