The triggered tsunami killed at least 437 people by the 13-m-high tide. Traditional optical imagery plays a great role in monitoring volcanic activities, but it is susceptible to cloud and fog interference and has low temporal resolution. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery can monitor volcanic activities at a high temporal resolution, and it is immune to the influence of clouds. In this paper, we propose an automatic method to accurately extract the volcano boundary from SAR images by combining multi-polarized water enhancement and the Nobuyuki Otsu (OTSU) method. We extract the area change of the volcano in 2018\u20132019 from Sentinel-1 images and ALOS-2 imagesThe area change and evolution are verified and analyzed by combing the results from SAR and optical data. The results show that the southeastern part of the volcano expanded significantly after the eruption, and the western part experienced collapse and recovery. The volcano morphology change experienced a slow-fast-slow process in the two years.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14061399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]],"date-time":"2022-03-15T02:56:20Z","timestamp":1647312980000},"page":"1399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Revealing the Morphological Evolution of Krakatau Volcano by Integrating SAR and Optical Remote Sensing Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jianming","family":"Xiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Shaohua","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Xianlin","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Daijun","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Guan","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Ningling","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Chen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8989-3113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keren","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Science, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11946","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-019-48327-6","article-title":"Modelling of the tsunami from the December 22, 2018 lateral collapse of Anak Krakatau volcano in the Sunda Straits, Indonesia","volume":"9","author":"Grilli","year":"2019","journal-title":"Sci.
