This paper considers extinction coefficient changes with height caused by the
inhomogeneous distribution of scatterers in heterogeneous forests and uses the InSAR …

In the field of forestry studies, microwave remote sensing has broad applications due to the
penetration into the semi-transparent media. This feature is used for the estimation of …

The characterization of ground targets from a remotely sensed Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SAR) image is addressed by polarimetric decomposition. The polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) …

Polarimetric SAR interferometry (PolInSAR) based modeling approaches have been used
by several researchers for forest height estimation using airborne and space-borne sensors …

Monitoring the earth's biosphere is an essential task to understand the global dynamics of
ecosystems, biodiversity, and management aspects. Forests, as a natural resource, have an …

Mapping of forest biophysical parameters is an effective tool for determination of forest
inventories, vegetation modeling, and the global carbon cycle. The present study aims at …

Polarimetric decomposition models such as Freeman-Durden's three-component and
Yamaguchi's four-component models were used to extract the scattering mechanisms. In a …

Scattering identification ambiguity has significant effects in the polarimetric SAR (Synthetic
Aperture Radar) decomposition and can be reduced by discriminating the permanent and …

A substantial variation in the land cover dynamics has been observed as a consequence of
increasing urban expansion. Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data is widely …

Availability of appropriate geospatial data over the Himalayan and adjacent Tibetan Plateau
region has emerged as one of the key data requirements to understand the fragile …
