3-D STRUCTURE OF INDIAN FORESTS – PERSPECTIVES FROM EXPERIMENTS ON THE FIRST FULLY-POLARIMETRIC TANDEM-X TOMOGRAMS
This paper provides a first hand view of the 3-D structure of the forests when viewed by X-band SAR data. Tomograms are generated using multi-polarimetric space-borne TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X acquisitions and analysed over a multi-species forest range. The paper analysed these generated tomograms and put...

| Summary: | This paper provides a first hand view of the 3-D structure of the forests when viewed by X-band SAR data. Tomograms are generated using multi-polarimetric space-borne TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X acquisitions and analysed over a multi-species forest range. The paper analysed these generated tomograms and puts forth-interesting observations of these unique forest species. The high- and low-canopy density plantations provide unique tomograms and vertical structure profiles where the effect of varying extinction is observed in X-band. Further, the scattering powers are shown relative to their backscatter powers. In-depth analysis in currently underway and would be reported in future. |
