These pre-processes are image smoothing, thresholding and white coloured regions determination. Image smoothing is carried out to remove noises then thresholding is applied to obtain binary image. Finally, candidate urban areas are detected by using white coloured regions determination. All pre-processes are applied by utilizing the developed software. Two different SAR images which are acquired by TerraSAR-X are used in experimental study. Obtained results are shown visually. © Authors 2017.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPre-processSynthetic aperture radarUrban areas detectionConference Object10.5194/isprs-archives-XLII-4-W6-15-20172-s2.0-85037376245174W6N/A1542
