Assessment of multi-temporal capella sar data for change detection and crop monitoring

In this work we explore the potential of time series of high-resolution radar imagery from Capella Space to enable crop monitoring in areas characterised by very small agricultural fields. Thanks to the spatial resolution provided by the Capella Space SAR images, adjacent fields are well separated in the analysis and, consequently, can be properly monitored and classified. The high-resolution feature complements the all-weather and sun independent operation of radar, hence being an excellent asset for this application.
