PolInSAR Two Layer Model Ground And Volume Respone Separation

Kurzfassung

Abstract: This work introduces a method to separate the ground and volume contributions from Polarimetric SAR Interferometric acquisitions. Based on the employed two layer model, the radar response may be decomposed into these two main contributions and the full rank polarimetric covariance matrices of the corresponding ground and volume layers may be extracted from the data. The technique will be evaluated with real single- and multi-baseline fully polarimetric data at different frequencies acquired by the E-SAR and F-SAR airborne sensors over the forest.
