Abstract:
Building damage assessment is critical in regions facing geopolitical challenges. This paper explores the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar remote sensing data, specifically from the Sentinel-1 constellation, to improve the accuracy and operational efficiency of building damage assessment. The approach is based on the use of SAR backscatter time series for a pixel-wise change detection methodology. As a case study, we consider the state of Ukraine, which has experienced significant building damage due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. Using the presented approach, we demonstrate the feasibility of change detection from freely available SAR data with weekly temporal resolution and at a nationwide spatial scale.
