A PCI software was used to perform the various image processing operations. The results show that high resolution SAR imagery from space platforms could be a viable tool for the inventory of waste-disposal sites. This is an important conclusion for a big city like Riyadh where disposed waste should be regularly monitored in order to compact its adverse effects on the environment.Journal Article2765https://ksupress.ksu.edu.sa/Ar/Lists/JournalAricle/DispForm.aspx?ID=2765
