Polarimetric Sar Interferometry (pol-insar) for Global Forest Biomass Monitoring
A central parameter to the terrestrial carbon budget is forest biomass which represents a proxy for carbon. Despite its crucial role in the terrestrial carbon budget, forest biomass is poorly quantified across most parts of the planet due to the great difficulties in measuring biomass on the ground and consistently aggregating measurements across scales. Today’s information is largely based on ...
متن کاملForest Canopy Height Mapping from Dual-wavelength Sar Interferometry
The CORSAR project (Carbon Observation and Retrieval from SAR), which is supported by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), has the objective to examine polarimetric decomposition and polarimetric SAR interferometry methods for estimating the effects of canopy structure in biomass-backscatter relationships. Forest canopy height is a useful input parameter to yield models, carbon c...
متن کاملThe Corsar Project: Can Polarimateric Sar Interferometry Improve Forest Biomass Estimation?
RESUME The main limitation in the application of spaceborne SAR to large-scale forest biomass mapping is the variability in canopy structure and vegetation density. It causes signal saturation and a large residual error in the parameter estimates. A problem in defining retrieval algorithms for forest biomass is that microwaves respond to the shapes, sizes, orientations and dielectric properties...
متن کاملForest Height Feature Extraction in Polarimetric SAR Interferometry by using Rotational Invariance Property
This paper present a new forest height feature extraction technique for single baseline polarimetric and interferometric SAR data. The authors have proposed polarimetric SAR interferometry based on the ESPRIT algorithm. However, the algorithm assumes that there exist dominant polarized components in both the ground and canopy. Hence, estimated interferometric phase of local scattering centers m...
متن کاملImprovement of Biomass Estimation in Forest Areas based on Polarimetric Parameters Optimization of SETHI airborne Data using Particle Swarm Optimization Method
Estimation of forest biomass has received much attention in recent decades. Airborne and spaceborne (SAR) have a great potential to quantify biomass and structural diversity because of its penetration capability. Polarizations are important elements in SAR systems due to sensitivity of them to backscattering mechanisms and can be useful to estimate biomass. Full Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture ...
