研究目的
Investigating how conventional SAR tomography (TomoSAR) can be linked to Polarization Coherence Tomography (PCT) by finding a suitable function basis for the estimation of 3D reflectivity profiles in forest volumes.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that a meaningful profile reconstruction can be obtained even in a very sub-sampled and sparse case with only three coherences available, confirming the potentials of linking conventional TomoSAR to PCT by finding a suitable function basis. Future work will address the profile reconstruction performance as a function of the baseline distribution and the suitability of one profile basis for different forest types.
研究不足
The study is limited by the small number of acquisitions and non-uniform baseline distributions in space borne implementations of SAR tomography for forest volumes. The choice of an adequate function basis for different forest types is still an open point.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses SAR tomography and Polarization Coherence Tomography to estimate 3D reflectivity profiles in forest volumes. The methodology involves the inversion of interferometric coherences to estimate reflectivity profiles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The analysis is carried out on TomoSAR reflectivity profiles obtained from an L-band tomographic data set acquired by the DLR’s F-SAR airborne platform over the forest of Traunstein (South of Germany).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
DLR’s F-SAR airborne platform for data acquisition.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves the estimation of Fourier profiles from interferometric coherences, the determination of a basis for these profiles, and the reconstruction of profiles using this basis.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study uses a linear inversion to estimate weights from interferometric coherences and evaluates the performance of profile reconstruction with a reduced set of coherences.
