内容記述 | The scattered return of imaging radars is primarily sensitive to target structure or roughness and to composition of complex permittivity. The relative degree of penetration, or the depth of material to which the return is sensitive, also varies directly with the wavelength. Where vegetation can be eliminated as a factor, the surface return may be analyzed for variations in roughness or composition (primarily moisture content). L-band (25-cm) imagery has provided evidence that long-wavelength systems with improved penetration capability have the potential for minimizing the vegetation contribution and enhancing the surface return variations. However, the increased wavelength increases the sensitivity to large-scale structure. In the present paper, it is shown that addition of a cross polarized channel enables the interpreter to distinguish vegetation and orientation perturbations in the surface return. |
