Time series observation of wetland “Sakata” by PiSAR-2

摘要

This paper presents time series results of X-band fully Polarimetrie radar observation of wetland “Sakata” in Niigata, Japan, during 2013 to 2015. The polarimetric scattering power decomposition was applied to the data sets. The region was successfully imaged by a very high-resolution (30 cm) polarimetric airborne SAR system, which revealed the detailed characteristic response of the emergent plants (lotus and reed) and surrounding objects in this wetland area.
