Their carbon stocks and stock changes need to be quantified for carbon budget balancing and international reporting schemes. However, direct sampling and biomass weighing may not always be possible for quantification studies conducted in large forests. In these cases, indirect methods that use forest inventory information combined with remote sensing data can be beneficial. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images offer numerous opportunities to researchers as freely distributed remote sensing data. This study aims to estimate the amount of total carbon stock (TCS) in forested lands of the Kizildag Forest Enterprise. To this end, the actual storage capacities of five carbon pools, i.e. above- and below-ground, deadwood, litter, and soil, were calculated using the indirect method based on ground measurements of 264 forest inventory plots. They were then associated with the backscattered values from Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 data in a Geographical Information System (GIS). Finally, TCS was separately modelled and mapped. The best regression model was developed using the HH polarization of ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 with an adjusted R^(2) of 0.78 (p < 0.05). According to the model, the estimated TCS was about 2 Mt for the entire forest, with an average carbon storage of 133 t ha^(−1). The map showed that the distribution of TCS was heterogenic across the study area. Carbon hotspots were mostly composed of pure stands of Anatolian black pine and mixed, over-mature stands of Lebanese cedar and Taurus fir. It was concluded that the total carbon stocks of forest ecosystems could be estimated using appropriate SAR images at acceptable accuracy levels for forestry purposes. The use of additional ancillary data may provide more delicate and reliable estimations in the future. Given the implications of this study, the spatiotemporal dynamics of carbon can be effectively controlled by forest management when coupled with easily accessible space-borne radar data.展开更多

An information theory approach is applied to the SAR imaging system, and the information content about a target that can be extracted from its radar image is evaluated by the average mutual information measure. A conditional (transition) probability density function (PDF) of the SAR imaging system is derived by analyzing the system and a closed form of the information content is found. It is shown that the information content obtained by the SAR imaging system from an independent sample of echoes will decrease and the total information content obtained by the SAR imaging system will increase with an increase in the number of looks. Because the total average mutual information is also used to define a measure of radiometric resolution for radar images, it is shown that the radiometric resolution of a radar image of terrain will be improved by spatial averaging. In addition, the imaging process and the data compression process for SAR are each treated as an independent generalized communication channel. The effects of data compression upon radiometric resolution for SAR are studied and some conclusions are obtained.展开更多

文摘随着高分辨率对地观测要求的不断提高,合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)的应用将越来越广泛。针对高分辨率SAR成像存在数据量大、存储难度高、计算时间长等问题,目前常用的解决方法是在SAR成像模型中引入压缩感知(Compressed Sensing,CS)的方法降低采样率和数据量。通常使用单一的正则化作为约束条件,可以抑制点目标旁瓣,实现点目标特征增强,但是观测场景中可能存在多种目标类型,因此使用单一正则化约束难以满足多种特征增强的要求。本文提出了一种基于复合正则化的稀疏高分辨SAR成像方法,通过压缩感知降低数据量,并使用多种正则化的线性组合作为约束条件,增强观测场景中不同类型目标的特征,实现复杂场景中高分辨率对地观测的要求。该方法在稀疏SAR成像模型中引入非凸正则化和全变分(Total Variation,TV)正则化作为约束条件,减小稀疏重构误差、增强区域目标的特征,降低噪声对成像结果的影响,提高成像质量;采用改进的交替方向乘子法(Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers,ADMM)实现复合正则化约束的求解,减少计算时间、快速重构图像;使用方位距离解耦算子代替观测矩阵及其共轭转置,进一步降低计算复杂度。仿真和实测数据实验表明,本文所提算法可以对点目标和区域目标进行特征增强,减小计算复杂度,提高收敛性能,实现快速高分辨的图像重构。
