Polarimetric techniques for forestry

Main Services

The work is making use of recent quad and dual-polarized data from Radarsat2 and TerraSAR-X sensors. These missions bring new opportunities in terms of higher spatial resolution, expanded polarimetry, multiple frequencies and the possibility of interferometric analysis.

The project incorporates streamlined processes for target analyses, algorithms (physical models) for deriving key forest attributes and examples of the utility of these attributes for value-adding applications (e.g. biomass models).
