A two-layer model composed by ground and volume contributions has been proven suitable to describe the 3-D backscattering signatures of forest scenarios in a number of experiments. Under this hypothesis, the purpose of this letter is to investigate how synthetic aperture radar tomography (TomoSAR) can be used to estimate ground and volume polarimetric covariances and with which performance. An algorithm...
AfriSAR is an ESA-funded airborne P- and L-band SAR campaign over the African tropical forests of Gabon carried out by ONERA (July 2015) and DLR (February 2016). The different acquisitions were designed in order to collect multibaseline fully polarimetric data allowing the inversion of key forest vertical structure-based parameters, like e.g. forest height and high resolution reflectivity profiles...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how SAR Tomography (TomoSAR) can be used to estimate ground polarimetric covariances in forest scenarios in order to increase the amount of information that can be extracted from SAR data stacks is beyond the vertical reflectivity profiles. Under the hypothesis of a two-layer model composed by ground and volume contributions, an algorithm is proposed that...
Polarimetric SAR Interferometry (Pol-InSAR) is a SAR remote sensing discipline with unique and powerful applications related to the vertical structure of natural and man-made volume scatterers. The coherent combination of single- or multi-baseline interferograms acquired at different polarisations provides sensitivity to the vertical distribution of scattering processes and allows their characterisation...
This paper provides an overview of the future development of spaceborne SAR systems with multi-baseline imaging capability like polarimetric SAR interferometry (PolInSAR), tomography (TomoSAR) and holography (HoloSAR). The goal is to fill the multi-dimensional data space with additional information from acquisitions having different spatial or temporal baselines. Multi-baseline imaging opens the door...
