Comparison of multiple filtering techniques on ALOS PALSAR image for detection of agricultural land abandonment

Land use is related to human activity or economic function in a specific piece of land such as for residential, recreational, industrialization and agriculture. Land use for agricultural activities are important to ensure sufficient food supply for human population that increases every day. Discrimi...
