Inhalt:
In this paper, recently conceived polarimetric array signal processing techniques are applied for producing 3D images over forested scenes from multibaseline POL-InSAR observations. Subsequently, the optimal scattering mechanisms are investigated using polarimetric decomposition to derive structural forest parameters. This three-dimensional analysis is performed by employing multibaseline POL-InSAR datasets over a temperate forest (Traunstein) acquired by the E-SAR system of DLR at L-band and validated against LIDAR measurements.
