Title
Theoretical Characterization Of Multi Incidence Angle And Fully Polarimetric Sar Data From Rice Paddies
Abstract
SAR remote sensing has been expected as an efficient rice crop monitoring tool due to its flexible operability with wide swath. Though many researchers have intensively analysed the backscatter, there still exist nonnegligible mysteries to extract physical parameters. To solve the problems, it is essential to conduct theoretical characterization of experimentally obtained radar backscatter from rice paddies. In this paper, the rice paddies were observed by a high resolution X-band SAR, Polarimetric and Interferometric SAR 2 (Pi-SAR2), by systematically varying the observation parameters such as incidence angle and polarization. The obtained features based on many sample points in Niigata city indicate that the dominant scattering mechanisms are gradually varied in terms of incidence angles.
