Abstract：

Synthetic　Aperture　Radar　is　the　only　instrument　that　can　provide　consistent　remote　sensing　data　for　south　China　with　persistent　cloud　cover　and　rain.　In　this　paper,　the　potential　of　multi-temporal　ERS,　ENVISAT-1　and　PALSAR　data　for　land　cover/land　use　classification　and　urban　change　detection　was　investigated　at　a　test　area　in　Fuzhou　city,　the　capital　of　Fujian　province　in　southeastern　China.　Both　SAR　backscatter　intensity　characteristics　and　interferometric　data　were　analyzed.　Two　methods　were　carried　out　in　the　urban　dynamics　change　detection:　one　was　post-classification　comparison,　and　the　other　one　was　multi-temporal　image　ratioing.　The　results　from　both　classification　and　urban　change　detection　were　validated　by　field　survey　data　and　showed　promising　application　of　PALSAR　and　ESA　SAR　data　in　southeastern　China.　©2009　IEEE.
