Polarimetric SAR Model Fitting for Soil Moisture Retrieval: Study of PALSAR-2 data over a Heterogeneous Mine Environment in Finland
Oleg Antropov, Alireza Hamedianfar, Matthieu Molinier, Ulla Salmela, Hanna Kukkula, Lauri Seitsonen, et al.
This paper examines several model based approaches for retrieving surface soil moisture from ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 quad-pol imagery, over a lime stone quarry in southeastern Finland. The study primarily targets physically interpretable semi-empirical modeling approaches, with generic M…
