Soil permittivity estimation over croplands using full and compact polarimetric SAR data

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...

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 modes. The proposed method utilizes the full and compact polarimetric scattering-type parameters, θ FP and θ CP , respectively. These scattering type parameters are a function of the soil permittivity and the Barakat degree of polarization. The method considers the X-Bragg scattering model for the soil surface. In particular, these scattering-type parameters explicitly account for the depolarizing structure of the scattered wave while characterizing targets. Thus, the depolarization information in terms of surface roughness in the X-Bragg model gets inherent importance while using θ FP and θ CP , unlike existing scattering-type parameters. Therefore, the proposed technique enhances the expected value of the inversion accuracies.
