Abstract
The resolution of ERS-1 images should let us detect man-made structures like urban areas. After a brief survey of the captor response to urban objects, we propose a method to detect urban areas. We illustrate the results obtained on two typical landscapes: European agricultural hilly landscapes and tropical zones. Some urban detections are presented both on Aix en Provence and Kourou towns in French Guyana.
