TL;DR: This paper focuses on multiimage synthetic aperture radar interferometry in the presence of distributed scatterers, paying particular attention to the role of target decorrelation in the estimation process, and makes the hypothesis that target statistics are at least approximately known.

TL;DR: Elements are shown supporting the idea that ground-volume interactions play a nonnegligible role at P-band, and a solution is proposed to isolate contributions from direct volume backscattering, leading to the conclusion that such parameter is robust against erroneous choices in the identification of volume-only contributions, thus corroborating the PolInSAR approach for the analysis of single-baseline data.

TL;DR: A new methodology for the analysis of forested areas basing on multipolarimetric multibaseline synthetic aperture radar (SAR) surveys based on a Sum of Kronecker Products, which provides the basis to perform SM separation by employing not only model-based approaches but also model-free and hybrid approaches.

TL;DR: This study presents an attempt to overcome the issues outlined above based on direct 3-D imaging of the forest volume, which is possible through multibaseline SAR tomography, and the relevance of tomographic technique in P-band spaceborne mission is discussed.

TL;DR: The European Space Agency's 7th Earth Explorer mission, BIOMASS, is to determine the worldwide distribution of forest above-ground biomass (AGB) in order to reduce the major uncertainties in calculations of carbon stocks and fluxes associated with the terrestrial biosphere, including carbon fluxe associated with Land Use Change, forest degradation and forest regrowth as mentioned in this paper.
