SAR image feature detection using shadow information

Many features of interest in SAR images cast shadows. Exploiting the information provided by these shadows may enhance the detection of such features. Here, algorithms of shadow processing schemes are derived and the efficacy of such schemes is investigated by analysis and simulation.
