Three-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...
متن کاملForest Height and Ground Topography at L-band from an Experimental Single-pass Airborne Pol-insar System
Many applications require bare-earth Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) in the presence of forest canopy. L-Band is an attractive candidate, but the derived interferometric phase represents a combination of ground and volume scattering contributions from the canopy above. The use of PolInSAR techniques, and the Random Volume Over Ground (RVOG) Model has had considerable success in model inversion st...
متن کاملForest height estimation using P-band Pol-InSAR data
A P-band Pol-InSAR dataset acquired over a maritime pine forest is evaluated for forest height estimation. First, a time-frequency inversion methodology is presented. Good results have been obtained (2 m RMS error over 27 stands). However, since the method is adapted to airborne SAR data, we further investigate methods that could be used to invert spaceborne SAR data. Possible adaptations of th...
متن کاملEstimation and Monitoring of Tropical Forest Biomass Using Polarimetric Interferometric SAR Data
The purpose of the proposed work is to examine the feasibility of using Polarimetric Interferometric SAR (PolInSAR) techniques on ALOS PALSAR data to extract forest canopy heights with the ultimate objective of deriving biomass estimates. Previous work [1] has shown that in homogeneous European forest stands, tree height is a reasonably robust estimator of biomass through a simple allometric re...
متن کاملStudies of Phase Center and Extinction Coefficient of Boreal Forest Using X- and L-band Polarimetric Interferometry Combined with Lidar Measurements
In this work we study L-band and X-band interferometric phase center location in boreal forest in order to assist height retrieval with POLinSAR methods. We complement interferometric L-band and X-band dataset with an accurate LIDAR measured terrain and canopy height model. The LIDAR measured model allows to calculate ground and treetop phase estimates and reveal the radar measured phase center...
