Abstract
In forest and agricultural scattering scenarios, the backscattered synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signature consists, depending on the frequency, of the superposition of ground and volume scattering contributions. Using multibaseline SAR data, SAR tomography techniques allow resolving contributions occurring at different heights. Two algorithms for the separation of ground and volume scattering are compared with respect to their ability to provide a coherent volume component that can be further used for parameter inversion, both of them requiring only the a priori known ground topography. Once the volume-only coherences are available, the total ground and volume scattering powers are estimated by means of a least squares fitting. The objective of this letter is to quantitatively evaluate the performance of this estimation by means of a Monte Carlo analysis with simulated data focusing on the impact of vertical resolution, errors in the knowledge of the ground topography and phase calibration residuals.
