4 SAR Tomography over forested areas SAR Tomography (TomoSAR) 3D imaging of the forest structure P-band TomoSAR yields the forest vertical structure even in the tropical forests. Complex reflectivity along cross-range ( ) direction and signal along image index are related by a Fourier Transform. 4 yn r, x P, r, x exp j bn d r Paracou, French Guiana, HV z r 2b max sin 45 6 Range [m] Nouragues, French Guiana, HV
5 P-band tomographic analysis
6 P-band TomoSAR to understand Scattering Mechanisms Topography Significant scattering contributions are observed at the canopy level in HH polarization, whereas this volume scattering contribution is dominating in HV polarization. Algorithm: Coherent focusing HH channel LiDAR height P-band P-band HV channel LiDAR height Slant range [m] The forest height can be readily determined, and it matches with LiDAR height.
7 Ground range [m] g Ground range [m] TomoSAR to understand how to retrieve biomass SAR resolution cell Intensity (db) Intensity - biomass a Original image Paracou 15 g HV [db] Original image, r P =.37, Slope = t/ha Best fit line in-situ Paracou in-situ Nouragues t/ha - 6 t/ha Height is always measured with respect to 3 m layer terrain elevation. 2 Layer 3m, r P =.75, Slope = 1.84 TomoSAR resolution cell -5 a 3m 15m m Ho Tong Minh et al., TGRS RSE HV [db] t/ha - 6 t/ha The effects of the ground contribution is minimized. Total AGB at large trees is well represented in 2-4 m layer.
8 Airborne data 1 Generation of 6 MHz data Two different processing approaches have been considered : 1. Back projection of airborne tomographic data onto BIOMASS geometry. (6 MHz simulation spaceborne geometry) 3D Tomographic reconstruction BIOMASS data H 4 m B = 125 MHz 2 Simulated Orbits + Impulse Response Function 3 H = 65 Km B = 6 MHz 2. Degrading the resolution of 125 MHz airborne data through linear filtering (ONERA) (6 MHz filtering airborne geometry)
9 Retrieved biomass (t/ha) Retrieved biomass (t/ha) Retrieved biomass (t/ha) Observation 125 MHz r P =.94 R 2 =.89 p <<.1 Implications : 6 MHz Observation 6 MHz airborne geometry r P =.83 R 2 =.69 p =.8 Simulation 6 MHz spaceborne geometry r P =.84 R 2 =.7 p = RMSE = (t/ha) = 5.28 (%) In situ above-ground biomass (t/ha) 1 RMSE = (t/ha) = 9.97 (%) In situ above-ground biomass (t/ha) 1 RMSE = 35.2 (t/ha) = 9.86 (%) In situ above-ground biomass (t/ha) Results at 6 MHz in both the spaceborne geometry and the airborne geometry appear to be well consistent with those observed in the 125-MHz case, indicating that the 3-m layer appears to be the most informative about the AGB.

15 Conclusions The vertical structure of the forest in a dense tropical forest: At P-band Ground scattering is strongly visible Volume scattering is significantly related to the biomass from 2 t/ha 5t/ha 6 MHz, RMSE 1% at 6.25-ha plots). Forest height can be readily determined, and it matches with LiDAR height. At L-band Ground scattering is partly visible The L-band tomographic profile is quite disturbed as compared to the P-band profile. In this condition, the use of tomographic imaging at L-band in tropical forests appears limited. However, when the forest top height is roughly below 2 m (e.g. in forest regrowth), the tomographic results are expected to be the same as in boreal forests.
