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...
