Absfracf-The paper aims at investigating different classification and segmentation tools for flood monitoring using satellite S A R images. To this aim, two different approaches, namely statistical segmentation and neurofnzzy classification and compared and discussed. The methods show, in general, the possibility to provide to a good extent accurate maps of the flooded areas using simple processing schemes. This stresses the effectiveness of satellite S A R images for real-time flood monitoring. T. M a d Peliizzen, P. Lombard0 and A.
