The aim of this research is to apply TerraSAR X-band, Envisat C-band and Palsar L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images for a knowledge acquisition process. For the study, backscattering properties of different natural and man-made objects of urban environment are analyzed on the basis of statistics of signatures of the selected classes. After the knowledge acquisition, for the acquired knowledge representation, a rule-based approach is proposed. Overall, the research demonstrated that the multi-frequency radar images can be effectively used for the knowledge acquisition as well as for the analysis of different land cover types.
