Use of multiincidence angle RADARSAT-1 SAR data to incorporate the effect of surface roughness in soil moisture estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The proposed study offers an approach to incorporate the effect of surface roughness in the estimation of soil moisture from space without actually measuring surface roughness conditions on ground. It is required to acquire synthetic aperture radar data at low and high incidence angles, such that the soil moisture changes are negligible between the two acquisitions.

The Potential Use of Multi-Band SAR Data for Soil Moisture Retrieval over Bare Agricultural Areas: Hebei, China
The potential use of TerraSAR-X and Radarsat-2 data for soil moisture retrieval over bare agricultural areas was investigated using both empirical and semi-empirical approaches. For the empirical approach, the Support Vector Regression (SVR) model was used with two cases: (1) using only one C-band or X-band image; and (2) using a pair of C-band and X-band images jointly. For the semi-empirical ...

An inversion technique based on neural networks has been implemented to estimate surface roughness and soil moisture over bare fields using ERS and RADARSAT data. The neural networks were trained with a simulated data set generated from the Integral Equation Model. Later the networks were applied to a field data set spanning a wide range of surface roughness and soil moisture, with backscatteri...

The purpose of this study was to develop an approach to estimate soil surface parameters from C-band polarimetric SAR data in the case of bare agricultural soils. An inversion technique based on multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural networks was introduced. The neural networks were trained and validated on a noisy simulated dataset generated from the Integral Equation Model (IEM) on a wide range ...
متن کاملEstimating Surface Soil Moisture Using Radarsat-2
Extremes in soil moisture, either too much or too little, present a significant risk to agricultural productivity. Managing and mitigating risk requires information and knowledge to assess risk potential, implement risk reduction strategies and deliver responses to this risk. Synthetic aperture radars (SARs) are sensitive to the dielectric properties of soils and are thus well suited to provide...
