The impact of environmental parameters on tree height estimation using PolInSAR techniques

Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInSAR) is a Radar polarimetric technique that provides the capability to use the information of different polarization channel to investigate the structure and perpendicular layers of scatters. Estimating the height of vegetation is one of the significant applications of PolInSAR which has high importance in the forestry and passive defense fields. One of the major problems to estimate the vegetation height using PolInSAR is evaluate the impact of environmental factors such as humidity، slope، surface roughness and species. The goal of this study is investigate the impact of these factors using several experiments on simulated aerial data. The results obtained in this research present the manner and importance of each parameter.
