Summary

Multi-Baseline (Single-Pass) Polarimetric SAR Interferometry:

Accurate (<10%) estimation of forest top height at high spatial resolutions (20-50m Grid);

Estimation of Ground DEM – Removal of Vegetation Bias;

Resolving low frequency vertical forest structure using by a “realistic” number of acqisitions.

Above ground forest Biomass:

Structure based (AG) Biomass estimators promise accuracy & stability across very different
forest conditions;

Mapping of “radar” structure to biomass structure has to be resolved.
