Estimation of Forest Biomass from an Airborne Single-pass L-band Pol-insar System
In this paper we describe forest height and biomass results obtained with an experimental airborne L-Band fully polarimetric, singlepass InSAR system over a test area in western Canada. The significance of the single-pass characteristic is that temporal decorrelation is avoided, allowing more robust Pol-InSAR forest parameter recovery. The derived tree height results were validated against thos...
متن کاملA New Approach to Estimate Forest Parameters Using Dual-Baseline POL-InSAR Data
In POL-InSAR applications using ESPRIT technique, it is assumed that there exist stable scattering centres in the forest. However, the observations in forest severely suffer from volume and temporal decorrelation. The forest scatters are not stable as assumed. The obtained interferometric information is not accurate as expected. Besides, ESPRIT techniques could not identify the interferometric ...
متن کاملMulti-baseline Pol-InSAR Forest Height Estimation in the pres- ence of temporal decorrleation
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry (Pol-InSAR) is a radar remote sensing technique, based on the coherent combination of radar polarimetry (Pol-SAR) and SAR interferometry (InSAR) which is substantially more sensitive to structural parameters of forest volume scatterers (e.g. forest) than conventional interferometry or polarimetry alone. However, temporal decorrelation i...
متن کاملAn Improvement of Vegetation Height Estimation Using Multi-baseline Polarimetric Interferometric SAR Data
This paper proposes a method for improving the estimation accuracy of vegetation height using multi-baseline Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol-InSAR) data. Single-baseline Pol-InSAR technique has been applied to retrieve the vegetation parameters based on the random volume over ground (RVoG) model. There are two main error sources which might decrease the estimation acc...
متن کاملThree-stage inversion improvement for forest height estimation using dual-PolInSAR data
This paper addresses an algorithm for forest height estimation using single frequency single baseline dual polarization radar interferometry data. The proposed method is based on a physical two layer volume over ground model and is represented using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry (PolInSAR) technique. The presented algorithm provides the opportunity to take advantages of t...
