Forest Analysis by Single-Pass Millimeterwave SAR Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent investigations show that millimeterwave SAR tomography provides an interesting means for the analysis of forested areas, especially if single-pass systems are employed. Providing very high resolutions in the decimeter domain and highly coherent data also for slightly windy conditions, even individual trees can be considered. Besides, it has been shown that a certain amount of canopy penetration is possible in spite of the short wavelength.

Towards Forest Structure Characteristics Retrieval from SAR Tomographic Profiles
SAR Tomography has proven to be a unique tool for the retrieval of 3D structure information from forest scenarios: it can reveal different scattering mechanisms at different heights. However, the translation of these measurements into relevant forest structure information is not straightforward and research is still ongoing. In this direction, this paper suggest a framework for the estimation o...
متن کاملExperiments of Tomography-based Sar Techniques with P-band Polarimetric Data
New opportunities are arising in the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observation of forest scenarios, especially with decimetric and metric radio wavelengths, which possess the capability of penetrating into volumes. Given its capabilities in the three-dimensional imaging of the scattering properties of the observed scene, SAR Tomography (Tomo-SAR) constitutes a good candidate for the analysis o...
متن کاملMonitoring of Deforestation in Tropical Rain Forest Areas by Using Insar - Comparison between L-band and C-band Sar -
ABSTRACT: The author compared the capability of coherence information obtained from interferometric SAR (InSAR) by C-band SAR of ERS-1 and 2 and by L-band SAR of JERS-1 for the purpose of monitoring the changes of tropical rain forest due to deforestation. The test site was a southern part of Sumatra Island with 50 by 50 kilometers coverage. The several repeat-pass interferometric data pairs by...
متن کاملBiomass Estimation Using Vertical Forest Structure from Sar Tomograghy: a Case Study in Canadian Boreal Forest
A major goal of current research is to address temporal climatic variations that are related to CO2 emissions. A significant portion of these emissions are due to forest destruction and the resulting conversion of biomass to CO2. As 30% of the earth’s landmass is forest-covered, it is important to understand the biomass content with better estimates than are currently available. This research h...
