Generation of 10m Resolution PalSAR and JERS-SAR Mosaics and Forest/Non-Forest Maps For Forest Carbon Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has produced the world's first 10m resolution L-band SAR global mosaic datasets. These data sets were generated to monitor forest changes from the 1990s to present time. SRTM-3 (90m resolution) DEM was used for correct for terrain-induced SAR image variations and for ortho-rectification. Both corrections were applied for geometric and radiometric calibration purposes. The data sets are useful for monitoring forest cover and forest change, and were used to derive forest/non-forest information.

Generation of Decadal Global High Resolution L-band Sar Dataset for Forest Carbon Tracking
Recently, the forest observation using the spaceborne sensor becomes a top issue in the carbon monitoring. Covering more than 20% of the global terrestrial areas, forests are rapidly decreasing, corresponding to 20% carbon dioxide release from the land. Deforestation and forest degradation mainly occurred in the developing country. L-band SAR is sensitive for monitoring the forest biomass, fore...

As part of a Tanzanian-Norwegian cooperation project on Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) for REDD+, 2007-2011 Cand L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter data from Envisat ASAR and ALOS Palsar, respectively, have been processed, analysed and used for forest and forest change mapping over a study side in Liwale District in Lindi Region, Tanzania. Land cover observations fro...
متن کاملSpatial Properties of Forest Clutter Measured by Wavelet Frames in Polarimetric PALSAR Imagery
The paper reports on experimental analysis of the spatial statistics (texture), as measured by wavelet frames in Lband SAR observations of tropical forest. Signatures are used to characterize the dependences of the texture measures on scale and polarization state. For detected data, experiments performed using a full resolution (12.5 m) JERS-1 image confirm that textural features provide good s...
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 کاملForest Disturbances and Regrowth Assessment Using ALOS PALSAR Data from 2007 to 2010 in Vietnam, Cambodia and Lao PDR
This paper aims to develop a new methodology for monitoring forest disturbances and regrowth using ALOS PALSAR data in tropical regions. In the study, forest disturbances and regrowth were assessed between 2007 and 2010 in Vietnam, Cambodia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic. The deforestation rate in Vietnam has been among the highest in the tropics in the last few decades, and those in Camb...
