Forest height estimation using single-pass dual-baseline L-Band PolInSAR data

Abstract

Two SAR tomographic estimators, namely the Capon method and the MUSIC method, are combined for the purposes of tree top height estimation and ground elevation retrieval from the dual-baseline datasets acquired by an experimental single-pass fully polarimetric L-Band InSAR system. Over two test sites, the preliminary results demonstrate a better estimation performance than our previously published results [4,5] using established single-baseline PolInSAR retrieval approaches.
