Why is it important?
Underground structures can affect their surrounding landscapes in different ways such as soil moisture content, soil composition and vegetation vigor. Vegetation vigor is often observed on the ground as a crop mark; a phenomenon which can be used as a proxy to denote the presence of underground and not visible structures.
Perspectives
This research introduces the use of remote sensing in security and defense matters. In addition, this study aims to establish a robust methodology for detecting such targets from remotely sensed data.
