Abstract

Vegetation canopy height inversion is a significant research content in Polarimetric Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInSAR) surface parameter inversion. One practical challenge is that the traditional three-stage inversion method will lead to the inaccurate inversion of vegetation canopy height in X-band because of the too concentrated distribution of polarization interference coherence coefficients (PolInCc). In this paper, an X-band PolInSAR vegetation canopy height inversion strategy is proposed based on Frequency Segmentation (FS). The FS divides the original PolInSAR images into multiple PolInSAR images called sub-images, and the sub-images are used to estimate the more near-linear PolInCc distribution of the sub-images by interferometry. Then the precise terrain phase and effective volume coherence coefficient can be obtained to invert the vegetation canopy height accurately. The validity of the proposed method is verified by N-SAR X-band real data.
