The present article is an introductory paper in this special issue on synthetic aperture radar
(SAR). A short review is presented on the recent trend and development of SAR and related …

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 …

Longer wavelength synthetic aperture radars (SARs) are precious in the remote sensing of
forested areas, being sensitive to contributions from the whole vegetation layer and from the …

The retrieval of above-ground biomass (AGB) in dense tropical forests using synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) images is widely recognized as a challenging task. The first difficulty …

Biomass estimation performance using polarimetric interferometric synthetic aperture radar
(PolInSAR) data is evaluated at L-and P-band frequencies over boreal forest. PolInSAR data …

In this paper, a technique is described for the tomographic characterization of forested areas
through multiple synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations, based on either single or …

This paper addresses the imaging of objects located under a forest cover using polarimetric
synthetic aperture radar tomography (POLTOMSAR) at L-band. High-resolution spectral …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data collected over a 2-D synthetic aperture can be
processed to focus the illuminated scatterers in the 3-D space, using a number of signal …

Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) systems are widely used for monitoring vegetation and
forested environments. Those that offer large-scale coverage, short revisiting times, and an …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography is a 3-D imaging modality that is commonly
tackled by spectral estimation techniques. Thus, the backscattered power along the cross …
