Polarimetric SAR interferometry
TL;DR: In this article, the role of polarimetry in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry is examined and a coherent decomposition for polarimetric SAR inter-ferometry that allows the separation of the effective phase centers of different scattering mechanisms is introduced.

SAR-Based Estimation of Above-Ground Biomass and Its Changes in Tropical Forests of Kalimantan Using L- and C-Band
TL;DR: These high-resolution biomass maps enable identification of even small-scaled biomass variability and changes and can be used for more precise carbon modelling, as well as forest monitoring or risk managing systems under REDD+ and other programs, protecting forests and analyzing carbon release.

Spaceborne PolSAR Tomography for Forest Height Retrieval
TL;DR: The potential of polarimetric SAR tomography (PolTomSAR) to retrieve the scatterer distribution of forest area using C-band Radarsat-2 spaceborne SAR dataset is investigated and backscatter power variations with their corresponding vertical profile for a particular azimuth bin were derived and analyzed.

A three-component scattering model for polarimetric SAR data
Anthony Freeman,S.L. Durden +1 more
TL;DR: An approach has been developed that involves the fit of a combination of three simple scattering mechanisms to polarimetric SAR observations, which is justified as a simplification of more complicated scattering models, which require many inputs to solve the forward scattering problem.

Polarimetric SAR interferometry
TL;DR: The authors solve the coherence optimization problem involving maximization of interferometric coherence and formulate a new coherent decomposition for polarimetric SAR interferometry that allows the separation of the effective phase centers of different scattering mechanisms.

Single-baseline polarimetric SAR interferometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of single-baseline polarimetric SAR interferometry to the remote sensing and measurement of structure over forested terrain is discussed and validated, based on this model, an inversion algorithm which allows the estimation of forest parameters such as tree height, average extinction, and underlying topography from singlebaseline fully-polarimetric interferometric data is addressed.

Michigan microwave canopy scattering model
TL;DR: The Michigan Microwave Canopy Scattering model (MIMICS) as mentioned in this paper is based on a first-order solution of the radiative-transfer equation for a tree canopy comprising a crown layer, a trunk layer and a rough-surface ground boundary.
