The aim of this book is to demonstrate the use of SAR data in three application domains, i.e. land cover, topography, and land motion.

Part I is an extensive and complete review on speckle and adaptive filtering is provided, essential for the understanding of SAR images.
Part II is dedicated to land cover mapping.
Part III is devoted to the generation of Digital Elevation Models based on radargrammetry and on a wise fusion (by considering sensor characteristic and acquisition geometry) of interferometric and photogrammetric elevation data.
Part IV provides a contribution to three applications related to land motion.
