Title
An Analysis Of The Capabilities Of Cosmo-Skymed And Radarsat Systems For Agricultural Area Monitoring
Abstract
This research aims at analyzing the integration of C and X band data collected from Radarsat2 (RS2) and COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) systems on some test areas in Italy, in order to estimate the main geophysical parameters of soil and vegetation, such as soil moisture and vegetation biomass.A check of the sensitivity of SAR signal to the soil parameters was first carried out on both test sites. Over the South-Tyrol area a retrieval approach based on the Support Vector Regression methodology, which was already tested in this area using C-band data from ENVISAT/ASAR data, was carried out.From these preliminary results it can be concluded that X-band images combined with C-band images could provide valuable information for the retrieval of SMC, even though further investigations should be carried out on a larger time-series and larger set of samples.
