Abstract:Soil permittivity estimation using Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data has been an extensively researched area. Nonetheless, it provides ample scope for further improvements. The vegetation cover over the soil surface leads to a complex interaction of the incident polarized wave with the canopy and subsequently with the underlying soil surface. This paper introduces a novel methodology to estimate soil permittivity over croplands with vegetation cover using the full and compact polarimetric mod… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
