 Abstract

River width is an important indication for water storage, with the development of remote sensing techniques, estimating river width in a large area becomes possible. In this report, fully-focused SAR altimetry data with an advantage of high spatial resolution is applied to compute river width for the first time. Methodology developed based on morphologic characters of rivers and data features is validated in two different areas, the Netherlands and Vietnam, with good statistical results.
