On the Performance of Forest Vertical Structure Estimation via Polarization Coherence Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we assess potentials and limitations of vertical structure estimation via polarization coherence tomography (PCT) for the processing of multibaseline SAR data, by using simulated data. We discuss the quality of the profile retrieval for natural environment in presence of several distortions as system errors and inaccurate a priori information, by means of simulations.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) three dimensional image provides the scene reflectivity along azimuth, range and elevation coordinates. This 3-D image is formed from acquisition of multiple signals from different orbits. Tomographic reconstruction of this image gives the vertical information of the object present in the data. Polarization Coherence Tomography (PCT) is used for estimation of vert...
