Prospect of disaster monitoring with the new small airborne SAR

The new small airborne SAR for disaster monitoring was developed based on the technology of Pi-SAR2 of NICT. The summary of its development was reported in IGARSS 2013 and 2014 ^[1][2] and will be reported in IGARSS 2015 [3]. This paper reports the evaluation of its disaster monitoring capability using the change detection by the simple amplitude difference method.
