L-band POLInSAR Simulations of Injune*
Critical performance figure is variation of µ with polarisationat POLInSAR 2005 we only had theoretical models, for example:

Now at POLInSAR 2007 we have the first experimental data from ALOS/PALSAR….

Polarimetric surface α Image 21/09/06
..we have removed vegetation scattering using H/α decomposition..Then image the scattering alpha parameter of the remainder..

Polarimetric surface α Image 06/11/06
..and we can also estimate the ratio of surface-to-volume scattering (µ)so important for POLINSAR studies..

POLInSAR Temporal Change : Injune 21/9 vs. 6/11
..leads to temporal decorrelation in radar interferograms

Notes:
1. Radial Coherence Loci as expected for small baseline
2. Region Stretch on surface points due to SNR variations of surface scattering with polarisation
3. Temporal Decorrelation in forested area γt = 0.7

w1 and w2 are the polarisations to use at ends 1 and 2 of the baseline to maximise coherence
In matrix notation this can be generalised to multiple tracks..

…maximum mu around -4dB…Minimum mu for high biomass forests can be assumed small (use HV for example).. next step is to correlate with biomass across different sites but looks promising..
Maximum surface-to-volume ratio

3 key unknowns:
φ0 (zo) - ground phase
hv - top height
f(z)- structure function
The Future:Coherence Tomography : 3-D Imaging from Space?
Idea is to break free of the exponential structure model used in the RVOG and IWCM modelsand try and reconstruct the local structure function f(z) from coherence data..
