摘要

We provide a demonstration of the new tomographic profiling (IP) technique, here applied to forestry for the first time. The portable ground-based synthetic aperture radar (GB-SAR) system was used to capture profiles of the vertical polarimetric backscattering patterns through a ~7 m tall stand of Norway spruce trees. The TP scheme collects data as for normal SAR imaging, but with the antennae aligned in the along-track direction. Adaptive post-processing meant that each TP scan simultaneously captured along-track image transects over the incidence angle range 0°-60°. An important feature of the derived image products is that incidence angle is constant at every point within an image. The measured HH-W height backscatter profiles were very similar, whilst the cross-/co-polarization ratio showed very little variation with height through the stand. Backscattering profiles showed closest agreement with the branch biomass distribution through the canopy, rather than with trunk or branch + trunk biomasses. Equivalent interferometric tree heights were estimated from the centre of mass of the backscatter-height distribution, which displayed increasing height with increasing incidence angle. There was no significant vertical separation between the cross- and co-polarization returns.
