In boreal forest, the signal penetrates through the canopy to interact with the ground producing variations in backscatter depending on ground topography, forest structure, and soil moisture. Tomographic processing of multiple SAR images Tomographic SAR (TomoSAR) provides information about the vertical backscatter distribution. This article evaluates the use of P-band TomoSAR data to improve AGB retrievals from backscattered intensity by suppressing the backscattered signal from the ground. This approach can be used even when the tomographic resolution is insufficient to resolve the vertical backscatter profile. The analysis is based on P-band data from two campaigns: BioSAR-1 (2007) in Remingstorp, southern Sweden, and BioSAR-2 (2008) in Krycklan (KR), northern Sweden. BioSAR airborne data were also processed to correspond as closely as possible to future BIOMASS TomoSAR acquisitions, with BioSAR-2-based results shown. A power law AGB model using volumetric HV polarized backscatter performs best in KR, with training residual root mean-squared error (RMSE) of 30%–36% (27–33 t/ha) for airborne data and 38%–39% for simulated BIOMASS data. Airborne TomoSAR data suggest that both vertical and horizontal tomographic resolution are of importance and that it is possible to greatly reduce AGB retrieval bias when compared with airborne P-band SAR backscatter intensity-based retrievals. A lack of significant ground slopes in Remningstorp reduces the benefit of using TomoSAR data which performs similar to retrievals based solely on P-band SAR backscatter intensity.

Forest height and canopy density estimates Δh and η0, respectively, obtained from two-level model (TLM) inversion, are used as biomass predictors. Eighteen bistatic VV-polarized TanDEM-X (TDM) acquisitions are used, made over two Swedish test sites in the summers of 2011, 2012, and 2013 (nominal incidence angle: 41°; height-of-ambiguity: 32-63 m). Remningstorp features a hemiboreal forest in southern Sweden, with flat topography and where 32 circular plots have been sampled between 2010 and 2011 (area: 0.5 ha; biomass: 42-242 t/ha; height: 14-32 m) . Krycklan features a boreal forest in northern Sweden, 720-km north-northeast from Remningstorp, with significant topography and where 31 stands have been sampled in 2008 (area: 2.4-26.3 ha; biomass: 23-183 t/ha; height: 7-21 m). A high-resolution digital terrain model has been used as ground reference during InSAR processing. For the aforementioned plots and stands and if the same acquisition is used for model training and validation, the new model explains 65%-89% of the observed variance, with root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 12%-19% (median: 15%) . By fixing two of the three model parameters, accurate biomass estimation can also be done when different acquisitions or different test sites are used for model training and validation, with RMSE of 12%-56% (median: 17%). Compared with a simple scaling model computing biomass from the phase center elevation above ground, the proposed model shows significantly better performance in Remningstorp, as it accounts for the large canopy density variations caused by active management. In Krycklan, the two models show similar performance.

Measurements of forest biomass change using P-Band synthetic aperture radar backscatter / Gustaf Sandberg in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 52 n° 10 tome 1 (October 2014)

Regression models based on backscatter change were developed using reference biomass change maps derived from high-density laser scanning data. Different regression models were developed for linear, square root, and logarithmic biomass change scales. The models were compared to the change maps based on laser data using twofold cross-validation, and estimation errors were evaluated using six 80 m by 80 m plots with detailed in situ measurements. The results indicate that the root-mean-square error of biomass change estimates based on P-band SAR backscatter data is about 15% or 20 t/ha. This suggests that not only clear-cuts but also growth and thinning can be measured. Simulations were performed in order to evaluate the possibility of using a spaceborne P-band SAR for measurements of forest biomass change. The simulations show that, with 64 equivalent number of looks (ENL) and a 50% change in biomass, it is possible to correctly indicate whether the forest has gained or lost biomass. Similarly, for a biomass loss of more than 75%, a correct indication of the sign of biomass change can be achieved with only 8 ENL.

Data are analyzed using detailed ground truth measurements available on both sites. The backscattering coefficient is strongly correlated to characteristics of the tree trunk. Signal saturation is not observed up to 900 m' /ha. However, the sensitivity to the volume is high in the range of 0500 m' /ha (e.g., 1 to 1.5 dB for 50 m3/ha), whereas it is reduced beyond 500 m3/ha ( Numéro de notice : A2001-131 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : FORET/IMAGERIE Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1109/36.964972 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1109/36.964972 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=21827 [article]
