Estimation of Soil Electric Properties and Water Content Through PolSAR Target Decomposition

A new method is proposed to recover the electric properties and water content of ground soil by applying Target Decomposition (TD) theory for Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) images. The depends on ϵ-σ characteristic curves which are unique each type at a specific frequency. This examined clayey found in most naturally vegetated land areas. Also, novel developed realistic simulation PolSAR images natural lands, including forest regions, grasslands, bare lands being prepared gardens or crop cultivation. based reverse TD theory. numerical results presented this paper concerned with characterization common soil. some present aim achieve datasets using inverse Finally, quantitative assessment obtained through simulations forested areas, gardens, cultivated plants. It found, investigations assessment, that dielectric constant, conductivity investigated types accurately estimated.
