摘要

The purpose of this letter is to present the results on the study of searching effective parameters that describe the relation between high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and forest parameters. The study is based on the non-Gaussian texture analysis of the polarimetric airborne Pi-SAR data over coniferous forests in Hokkaido, Japan. The radar cross section (RCS) in terms of a forest biomass is first analyzed. It is found that the L-band RCS increases steadily with the biomass and saturates at approximately 40 tons/ha. These results are similar to the previous studies. The probability density function of the image amplitude is then investigated, and among Rayleigh, log-normal, Weibull, and K-distributions, the K-distribution is found to fit best to the L-band data of all polarizations, although the Weibull distribution fits equally well. Further, the correlation between the tree biomass and the order parameter of the K-distribution in the cross-polarization images is found to be very high, and the order parameter increases consistently with the biomass to approximately 100 tons/ha, which is well beyond the saturation limit of the L-band RCS. Thus, the order parameter of the K-distribution can be a promising new parameter to estimate the forest biomass from high-resolution polarimetric SAR data in a much wider range than the conventional RCS method
