Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of terrain correction on change detection results. We firstly assess the effects of topography on radar brightness and show how we can produce the radiometrically terrain corrected multilook complex (MLC) covariance data. Next, changes on radar cross section as a function of polarization states due to azimuth slope variations will be studied. Finally experimental results on glacier dataset are shown by focusing on change detection results before and after terrain corrections.
