Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an effective and important technique in monitoring crop
and other agricultural targets because its quality does not depend on weather conditions …

Soil moisture is vital for the crop growth and directly affects the crop yield. The conventional
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) based soil moisture monitoring is often influenced by …

Surface soil moisture (SM) retrieval over agricultural areas from polarimetric synthetic
aperture radar (PolSAR) has long been restricted by vegetation attenuation, simplified …

Model-based polarimetric decompositions are often used to generate scene classifications
from polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) imagery. The classification quality …

Determining the soil moisture in agricultural fields is a significant parameter to use irrigation
systems efficiently. In contrast to standard soil moisture measurements, good results might …

Soil moisture is a factor for risk analysis in the agricultural sector, yet access to temporally
and spatially detailed data is challenging for much of the world's agricultural extend …

Soil moisture is a key parameter affecting crop growth. Gaofen-3 satellite is the first C-band
synthetic aperture radar produced by China, which provides full-polarization data sources …

The soil surface humidity parameter over vegetated fields is of great importance for
controlling water consumption; prevention of salinity caused by over-irrigation; efficient use …

Recently, a general polarimetric model-based decomposition framework was proposed by
Chen et al., which addresses several well-known limitations in previous decomposition …

Abstract Model-based polarimetric decomposition can separate to some extent the
backscattered radar signals from the vegetation canopy and the underlying ground, hence …
