研究目的
Investigating the potential of P-band PolIn-SAR and tomography for retrieving vegetation parameters from multi-baseline airborne data over tropical forests.
研究成果
The AfriSAR data demonstrated the potential of P-band SAR imaging for the ESA-BIOMASS mission in tropical forests. Phase screen correction was essential for accurate PolInSAR and tomographic results. The study showed good correlation between SAR-derived vegetation parameters and LIDAR data, highlighting the utility of SAR for forest structure analysis.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need for phase screen correction due to uncertainties in airborne platform trajectories. The resolution of SAR tomography at P-band may not match that of LIDAR imaging systems.
