Estimating Forest Biophysical Attributes From Airborne Polarimetric SAR Data

摘要

We used multi-sensor, multi-frequency and multi-polarization SAR data for biophysical parameter retrieval in plantation forests of Northern Japan. The statistical relationships with different biophysical parameters are quite robust for certain frequencies-polarization combination. A combination of different frequencies and polarizations facilitate the retrieval of these parameters with R{sup}2 of 0.95 and rms error of 15.19 tons ha{sup}(-1).
