摘要
In this paper, we propose the novel method of complex least squares adjustment(CLSA) to invert vegetation height accurately using single-baseline polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry(Pol In SAR) data. CLSA basically estimates both volume-only coherence and ground phase directly without assuming that the ground-to-volume amplitude radio of a particular polarization channel(e.g., HV) is less than ?10 d B, as in the three-stage method. In addition, CLSA can effectively limit errors in interferometric complex coherence, which may translate directly into erroneous ground-phase and volume-only coherence estimations. The proposed CLSA method is validated with Bio SAR2008 P-band E-SAR and L-band SIR-C Pol In SAR data. Its results are then compared with those of the traditional three-stage method and with external data. It implies that the CLSA method is much more robust than the three-stage method.
In this paper, we propose the novel method of complex least squares adjustment (CLSA) to invert vegetation height accurately using single-baseline polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry (PollnSAR) data. CLSA basically estimates both volume-only coherence and ground phase directly without assuming that the ground-to-volume amplitude radio of a particular polarization channel (e.g., HV) is less than -10 dB, as in the three-stage method. In addition, CLSA can effectively limit errors in interferometric complex coherence, which may translate directly into erroneous ground-phase and volume-only coherence estimations. The proposed CLSA method is validated with BioSAR2008 P-band E-SAR and L-band SIR-C PollnSAR data.
