3D SAR Imaging of a Forest Using Airborne MB-SAR Data at L- and P-Band: Data Processing and Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a time-domain back-projection based focusing algorithm in combination with three tomographic focusing techniques (multilook standard beamforming, robust Capon beamforming, and MUSIC) a 3D volume containing a forested area has been tomographically imaged at Land P-band. In this paper, we present further results and insights obtained by processing and analyzing these data sets with respect to the localization of the scattering sources using the three different focusing techniques, as well as for both, the two frequency bands and the different polarimetric channels.

Adaptive Spectral Estimation for Multibaseline SAR Tomography with Airborne L-band Data
In the recent years there has been growing interest in exploiting multibaseline (MB) SAR interferometry in a tomographic framework, to produce full 3D imaging e.g. of forest layers. However, Fourier-based MB SAR tomography is generally affected by unsatisfactory imaging quality due to a typically low number of baselines and their irregular distribution. In this work, we apply the more modern ad...
متن کاملRadiometric Issues in Adaptive Polarimetric Sar Tomography
Multibaseline (MB) SAR tomography (Tomo-SAR) is an advanced mode of SAR interferometry, allowing full 3D imaging of volumetric and layover scatterers along the azimuth, range and height dimensions. Recently, this technique has also been extended in a polarimetric sense (PolTomo-SAR), exploiting MB SAR data acquired with different polarization channels. In this way, the joint estimation is possi...
متن کاملImprovement of Biomass Estimation in Forest Areas based on Polarimetric Parameters Optimization of SETHI airborne Data using Particle Swarm Optimization Method
Estimation of forest biomass has received much attention in recent decades. Airborne and spaceborne (SAR) have a great potential to quantify biomass and structural diversity because of its penetration capability. Polarizations are important elements in SAR systems due to sensitivity of them to backscattering mechanisms and can be useful to estimate biomass. Full Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture ...

New opportunities are arising in the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observation of forest scenarios, especially with decimetric and metric radio wavelengths, which possess the capability of penetrating into volumes. Given its capabilities in the three-dimensional imaging of the scattering properties of the observed scene, SAR Tomography (Tomo-SAR) constitutes a good candidate for the analysis o...
متن کاملMeasurements of Forest Biomass Change Using L-band Sar Backscatter
Three-year forest above-ground biomass change is to be measured using L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter. Measurements are also made using P-band backscatter for comparison. The radar data were collected in the airborne BioSAR 2007 and BioSAR 2010 campaigns over the hemiboreal Remningstorp test site in southern Sweden. Regression models for biomass will be developed using referen...
