THE TOMOSENSE EXPERIMENT: MONO- AND BISTATIC SAR TOMOGRAPHY OF FORESTED AREAS AT P-, L-, AND C-BAND
Paper i proceeding, 2021
The TomoSense experiment comprises campaign and research activities in support of future Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mission concepts at P-, L-, and C-band by the European Space Agency (ESA). The research is intended to provide a quantitative basis for the evaluation of single-pass interferometry over temperate forests at L- and C-band and investigate potential synergies between C-band convoy mission concepts and future P- and L-band missions. SAR acquisitions include P- L-, and C-band data acquired at the Eifel National Park in Germany by flying approximately 25 trajectories to provide tomographic imaging capabilities. L- and C-band data were acquired by simultaneously flying two aircraft to gather bistatic data with varying interferometric baselines. Field activities include forest census (dbh, tree height and species) at 80 plots and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS). The dataset is complemented by small-footprint Airborne Lidar Scanning (ALS) and derived products. Preliminary results are here shown relative to polarimetric tomography at P-band and L-band imaging.
