Random Forests for Classifying Multi-temporal Sar Data

Airborne multi-temporal L-band polarimetric SAR data for biomass estimation in semi-arid forests

Classifying Complex Mountainous Forests with L-Band SAR and Landsat Data Integration: A Comparison among Different Machine Learning Methods in the Hyrcanian Forest

Forest environment classification in mountain regions based on single-sensor remote sensing approaches is hindered by forest complexity and topographic effects. Temperate broadleaf forests in western Asia such as the Hyrcanian forest in northern Iran have already suffered from intense anthropogenic activities. In those regions, forests mainly extend in rough terrain and comprise different stand...

Tree Height Estimation from Multi-temporal Ers Sar Interferometric Phase

Multi-temporal sets of ERS-1/2 SAR interferometric (InSAR) phase have been evaluated at several test sites in Europe for tree height estimation. Atmospheric artefacts affected a large number of image pairs. These were generally well compensated in case of large-scale artefacts over small forests, whereas for large forests their effect could only be assessed. Hence, the amount of pairs utilizabl...

Assessment and Update of Forest Classification Using Multi-parameter Satellite Sar Data for Ne China

The objective of this paper is to improve as well as to assess the performance of mapping forest by ENVISAT ASAR data and update forest map from ERS SAR images. The preliminary results of there test sites show it is very potential to use HH/HV ASAR AP data for forest map update. Tuqiang site have been undergoing dramatic changes during the last several decades due to the regeneration after fore...

Multi-temporal Sar and Optical Data Fusion with Texture Measures for Land Cover Classification Based on the Bayesian Theory

This paper addresses the land cover classification capabilities of multi-temporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and optical data fusion based on Bayesian approach. Multi-temporal SAR data were used to extract average backscattering coefficient, backscatter temporal variability and long-term coherence while the reflectance values were calculated using the optical data. Grey Level Cooccurre...
