Mapping Plant Functional Types in Floodplain Wetlands: An Analysis of C-Band Polarimetric SAR Data from RADARSAT-2
The inclusion of functional approaches on wetland characterizations and on biodiversity assessments improves our understanding of ecosystem functioning. In the Lower Paraná River floodplain, we assessed the ability of C-band polarimetric SAR data of contrasting incidence angles to discriminate wetland areas dominated by different plant functional types (PFTs). Unsupervised H/α and H/A/α Wishart...
متن کاملTerrain Correction of Polarimetric Sar Data and Its Application in Mapping Mountain Glacier Facies with Radarsat-2 Sar
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data can be difficult to interpret over glacierized terrain, especially in areas of high relief where most of the smaller glaciers of the world are found. The two primary objectives of this paper are to correct the topographically induce distortions inherent in SAR image of rugged terrain and to map glacier facies in the corrected polarimetric (PolSAR) image. Meth...
متن کاملMultitemporal Radarsat-2 Polarimetric Sar Data for Urban Land-cover Mapping
The objective of this research is to evaluate multi-temporal RADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR data for urban land-cover classification using a novel classification scheme. Six-date RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric SAR data in both ascending and descending orbits were acquired during June to September 2008 in the rural-urban fringe of the Greater Toronto Area. The major land-cover types are builtup areas, roa...
متن کاملRegional Mapping of Plant Functional Types in River Floodplain Ecosystems Using Airborne Imaging Spectroscopy Data
Monitoring and forecasting of natural vegetation succession is essential for optimal management of river floodplain ecosystems in Western Europe. For example the development of woody vegetation types (e.g., softwood forest) increases the hydraulic resistance of the floodplain and can have negative effects on the discharge capacity of the river. However, from a biodiversity point-of-view this de...
