Quantifying volume through remote sensing can support a proper management of forests. Because of limitations on spaceborne optical and synthetic aperture radar sensors, this study integrated both types of datasets assembled using support vector regression (SVR) to retrieve the stand volume of Eucalyptus plantations. We assessed different combinations of sensors and a minimum number of plots to develop an SVR model. Finally, the best SVR performance was compared with other analytical methods already tested and in the literature: multilinear regression, artificial neural networks (ANN), and random forest (RF). Here, we introduce a test for comparative analysis of the performance of different methods. We found that SVR accurately predicted stem volume of Brazilian fast-growing Eucalyptus forest plantations. Gaussian radial basis was the most suitable kernel function. Integrating the optical and L-band backscatter data increased the predictive accuracy compared to a single sensor model. Combining NIR-band data from ALOS AVNIR-2 and backscatter of L-band horizontal emitted and vertical received (HV) electric fields from ALOS PALSAR produced the most accurate SVR model (with an R2 of 0.926 and root mean square error of 11.007 m3/ha). The number of field plots sufficient for model development with non-redundant explanatory variables was 77. Under this condition, SVR performed similarly to ANN and outperformed the multiple linear regression and random forest methods.

The modern GPS program and newly launched GNSS systems such as GALILEO, BeiDou allow civilians to access signals from multiple frequencies in the L-band spectrum. While there are some advantages in triple-frequency processing in carrier phase applications, in general most of the standalone kinematic receivers get benefit from dual-frequency signals for ionosphere error correction. In implementing a dual-frequency receiver, it is necessary to select a combination of frequencies leading to an optimum performance of the existing civilian signals. In the current research work, we have analyzed the performance of dual-frequency receiver in terms of combined signal observation noise, sensitivity and robustness using analytical models by taking the combination of GPS L1, L2C and L5 signals as an example. Further, we have investigated the benefits of common Doppler estimate-based two-frequency signal tracking to reduce the noise in linear combination of observations. Through analytical and experimental results, it is confirmed that the L1/L5 signal combination in GPS system has low observation noise, which is suitable to use in high accuracy and precise positioning applications using standalone dual-frequency receiver. Further, it is shown that common Doppler estimate-based dual-frequency signal tracking has improved receiver tracking loop performance in terms of observation noise and multipath in linear combination of observations and enhanced receiver sensitivity and robustness. In GPS system, L1/L5 signals processed using common Doppler estimate-aided two-frequency signal tracking architecture, it is possible to effectively mitigate ionosphere delay and other receiver observation errors, to achieve less than 1 m position accuracy using unambiguous code phase observations. Proposed analysis is applicable of finding an optimal two-frequency signal combination in multi-frequency GNSS system and suitable signal processing architecture to obtain high accuracy and precise ionosphere-free position solution using code phase observations in standalone dual-frequency receiver.

By incorporating several improvements to the forest height inversion and mosaicking approach, the height estimation accuracy along with the robustness of this approach have been considerably enhanced from its originally reported accuracy of RMSE of 3-4 m at a 20-hectare aggregated pixel size to RMSE of 3-4 m on the order of 3-6 hectares. Furthermore, practical data processing schemes are provided in detail. Extensive validation results are demonstrated which include: 1) a forest height mosaic (total area of 11.6 million hectares) is generated for the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire using Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) ALOS-1 InSAR correlation data and a small airborne lidar strip (44 000 hectares); 2) the mosaic height estimates are further compared with the available airborne lidar data and field measurements over both flat and mountainous areas; and 3) feasibility of using modern repeat-pass InSAR satellites with short repeat interval is also examined by using JAXA's ALOS-2 data. This simple and efficient approach is a potential observational prototype with much smaller error budget for the future spaceborne repeat-pass L-band InSAR systems with small spatial baseline and moderate/large temporal baseline (such as NISAR) in combination with lidar (such as GEDI) on the application of large-scale forest height/biomass mapping. It also serves as a complementary tool to the spaceborne single-pass InSAR systems using InSAR/PolInSAR methods when full-pol data are not available and/or when the underlying topography slope causes problems for these approaches.

Polarimetric radar vegetation index for biomass estimation in desert fringe ecosystems / Jisung Geba Chang in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 56 n° 12 (December 2018) . - pp 7102 - 7108 Titre : Polarimetric radar vegetation index for biomass estimation in desert fringe ecosystems Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jisung Geba Chang, Auteur ; Maxim Shoshany, Auteur ; Yisok Oh, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 7102 - 7108 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes descripteurs IGN] allométrie [Termes descripteurs IGN] bande C [Termes descripteurs IGN] bande L [Termes descripteurs IGN] bassin méditerranéen [Termes descripteurs IGN] biomasse [Termes descripteurs IGN] carte de la végétation [Termes descripteurs IGN] coefficient de rétrodiffusion [Termes descripteurs IGN] données de terrain [Termes descripteurs IGN] image ALOS-PALSAR [Termes descripteurs IGN] image Sentinel-SAR [Termes descripteurs IGN] indice de végétation [Termes descripteurs IGN] polarimétrie radar [Termes descripteurs IGN] zone aride [Termes descripteurs IGN] zone semi-aride Résumé : (auteur) Biomass estimation of eastern Mediterranean shrublands was investigated using PALSAR full- and dual-polarization L-band and Sentinel-1 dual-polarization C-band data. First, we conducted an empirical assessment of single and multiple regressions between polarized backscattering coefficients and shrubland biomass distribution along the climatic gradient between semiarid and arid regions. We then found that the PALSAR L-band HV-polarized backscattering coefficient has higher biomass information content than Sentinel-1 C-band data. Based on a theoretical volume scattering model and a semiempirical model, we propose a new polarimetric radar vegetation index (PRVI) that utilizes the degree of polarization and the cross-polarized backscattering coefficient. The relationship between the new index and the biomass was assessed with reference to normalized difference vegetation index-based biomass estimates calculated using Landsat imagery. The PRVI was found to have higher correlation with biomass compared with other radar polarization parameters, in general, and an existing radar vegetation index (RVI), in particular. Assessment of PRVI-based biomass predictions compared with allometric data extracted from air photographs, Lidar, and field data for 67 sites across the desert fringe zone indicated moderate performance with an RMSE of 0.329 kg/m 2 , while an RVI-based biomass estimation had an RMSE of 0.439 kg/m².

It is known that surface tilted in azimuth direction and buildings not aligned in the along-track direction induce polarization orientation shifts. Earlier research has established orientation angle as a function of radar imaging geometry and surface slopes, and that POA estimation can be derived from polarimetric radar data using circular polarization. Besides these, polarimetric scattering from steep slopes and its relation to POA remain not well understood. In this paper, we address these issues by adopting a tilted surface model based on Bragg scattering. We have found that, as the azimuthal slope increases, |VV| decreases at a faster rate than |HH|, they become equal, when POA is ±45°, and |HH| > |VV| afterward. In other words, the Pauli component, |HH-VV| reduced to zero at POA = ± 45°, and the typical Bragg scattering characteristics of |VV| > |HH| does not apply when steep slope is present inducing |POA| > 45°. Furthermore, the cross-pol |HV| does not always increase with azimuth slope but also reaches a maximum then decreases to zero. In addition, we investigate the effect of soil moisture on polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) scattering characteristics of steep terrain and the effect of vegetation over surface on POA estimation. The latter is demonstrated with NASA/JPL TOPSAR L-band PolSAR data and C-band InSAR data. Another significance of this paper is that it provides a direct and rigorous derivation of POA equations. The earlier version was derived from a different concept.
