Observations from spaceborne radar contain considerable information about vegetation
dynamics. The ability to extract this information could lead to improved soil moisture …

Agricultural targets are very dynamic throughout the growing season, and thus remote
sensing is an attractive approach to mapping and monitoring applications. Research …

Agriculture plays a critical role within Canada's economy and, as such, sustainability of this
sector is of high importance. Targeting and monitoring programs designed to promote …

Abstract Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs) transmit and receive energy at microwave
frequencies. The response recorded by these sensors is largely a function of the structure …

Mapping and monitoring changes in the distribution of cropland provide information that aids
sustainable approaches to agriculture and supports early warning of threats to global and …

Winter wheat is the second largest food crop in China. It is important to obtain reliable winter
wheat acreage to guarantee the food security for the most populous country in the world …

In 1997, the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing acquired RADARSAT-1, SPOT and IRS-1C
imagery over an agricultural site in western Canada. These data were used to address the …

Soybeans, as the major global oil seed crops, are among the large-scale agricultural
products imported into China. In this way, the accurate identification of their growing areas is …

Although the interaction between linear polarized microwaves and agricultural targets has
been studied extensively, far less is understood about the added information provided from …

In order to monitor crop growth along the season with synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
images, radiative transfer models were developed to retrieve key biophysical parameters …
