    The objective of this work is to analyze the behavior of short temporal baseline interferomet ric coherence in forested areas for L-band spaceborne SAR data. Hence, an exploratory assessment of the impacts of temporal and spatial baselines on coherence, with emphasis on how these effects vary between SAOCOM-1 L-band and Sentinel-1 C-band data is presented. The interferometric coherence is analyzed according to different imaging parameters. In the case of SAOCOM-1, the impacts of the variation of the incidence angle and the ascending and descending orbits over forested areas are also assessed. Finally, short-term 8-day interferometric coherence maps derived from SAOCOM-1 are especially addressed, since this is the first L-band spaceborne mission that allows us to acquire SAR images with such a short temporal span. The analysis is reported over two forest-production areas in Argentina, one of which is part of the most important region in terms of forest plantations at the national level. In the case of SAOCOM, interferometric configurations are characterized by a lack of control on the spatial baseline, so a zero-baseline orbital tube cannot be guaranteed. Nevertheless, this spatial baseline variability is crucial to exploit volume decorrelation for forest monitoring. The results from this exploratory analysis demonstrates that SAOCOM-1 short temporal baseline interferograms, 8 to 16 days, must be considered in order to mitigate temporal decorrelation effects and to be able to experiment with different spatial baseline configurations, in order to allow appropriate forest monitoring.This research was funded by the project INTERACT PID2020-114623RB-C32 funded by the Spanish MCIN /AEI /10.13039 /501100011033.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

    Parameters affecting interferometric coherence and implications for long-term operational monitoring of mining-induced surface deformation

    Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.Surface deformation due to underground mining poses risks to health and safety as well as infrastructure and the environment. Consequently, the need for long-term operational monitoring systems exists. Traditional field-based measurements are point-based meaning that the full extent of deforming areas is poorly understood. Field-based techniques are also labour intensive if large areas are to be monitored on a regular basis. To overcome these limitations, this investigation considered traditional and advanced differential radar interferometry techniques for their ability to monitor large areas over time, remotely. An area known to be experiencing mining induced surface deformation was used as test case. The agricultural nature of the area implied that signal decorrelation effects were expected. Consequently, four sources of data, captured at three wavelengths by earth-orbiting satellites were obtained. This provided the opportunity to investigate different phase decorrelation effects on data from standard imaging platforms using real-world deformation phenomenon as test-case. The data were processed using standard dInSAR and polInSAR techniques. The deformation measurement results together with an analysis of parameters most detrimental to long-term monitoring were presented. The results revealed that, contrary to the hypothesis, polInSAR techniques did not provide an enhanced ability to monitor surface deformation compared to dInSAR techniques. Although significant improvements in coherence values were obtained, the spatial heterogeneity of phase measurements could not be improved. Consequently, polInSAR could not overcome ecorrelation associated with vegetation cover and evolving land surfaces. However, polarimetric information could be used to assess the scattering behaviour of the surface, thereby guiding the definition of optimal sensor configuration for long-term monitoring. Despite temporal and geometric decorrelation, the results presented demonstrated that mining-induced deformation could be measured and monitored using dInSAR techniques. Large areas could be monitored remotely and the areal extent of deforming areas could be assessed, effectively overcoming the limitations of field-based techniques. Consequently, guidelines for the optimal sensor configuration and image acquisition strategy for long-term operational monitoring of mining-induced surface deformation were provided

    Retrieval of vegetation height in rice fields using polarimetric SAR interferometry with TanDEM-X data

    Get PDF
    This work presents for the first time a demonstration with satellite data of polarimetric SAR interferometry (PolInSAR) applied to the retrieval of vegetation height in rice fields. Three series of dual-pol interferometric SAR data acquired with large baselines (2โ€“3 km) by the TanDEM-X system during its science phase (Aprilโ€“September 2015) are exploited. A novel inversion algorithm especially suited for rice fields cultivated in flooded soil is proposed and evaluated. The validation is carried out over three test sites located in geographically different areas: Sevilla (SW Spain), Valencia (E Spain), and Ipsala (W Turkey), in which different rice types are present. Results are obtained during the whole growth cycle and demonstrate that PolInSAR is useful to produce accurate height estimates (RMSE 10โ€“20 cm) when plants are tall enough (taller than 25โ€“40 cm), without relying on external reference information.This work has been supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) and EU FEDER under project TIN2014-55413-C2-2-P. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007โ€“2013) under grant agreement 606983, and the Land-SAF (the EUMETSAT Network of Satellite Application Facilities) project. The in-situ measurements in the Ipsala site were conducted with the funding of The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK, Project No.: 113Y446)

    A Simple RVoG Test for PolInSAR Data

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we present a simple algorithm for assessing the validity of the RVoG model for PolInSAR-based inversion techniques. This approach makes use of two important features characterizing a homogeneous random volume over a ground surface, i.e., the independence on polarization states of wave propagation through the volume and the structure of the polarimetric interferometric coherency matrix. These two features have led to two different methods proposed in the literature for retrieving the topographic phase within natural covers, i.e., the well-known line fitting procedure and the observation of the (1, 2) element of the polarimetric interferometric coherency matrix. We show that differences between outputs from both approaches can be interpreted in terms of the PolInSAR modeling based on the Freeman-Durden concept, and this leads to the definition of a RVoG/non-RVoG test. The algorithm is tested with both indoor and airborne data over agricultural and tropical forest areas.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) and EU FEDER under Project TEC2011-28201-C02-02

    Temporal Characteristics of Boreal Forest Radar Measurements

    Get PDF
    Radar observations of forests are sensitive to seasonal changes, meteorological variables and variations in soil and tree water content. These phenomena cause temporal variations in radar measurements, limiting the accuracy of tree height and biomass estimates using radar data. The temporal characteristics of radar measurements of forests, especially boreal forests, are not well understood. To fill this knowledge gap, a tower-based radar experiment was established for studying temporal variations in radar measurements of a boreal forest site in southern Sweden. The work in this thesis involves the design and implementation of the experiment and the analysis of data acquired. The instrument allowed radar signatures from the forest to be monitored over timescales ranging from less than a second to years. A purpose-built, 50 m high tower was equipped with 30 antennas for tomographic imaging at microwave frequencies of P-band (420-450 MHz), L-band (1240-1375 MHz) and C-band (5250-5570 MHz) for multiple polarisation combinations. Parallel measurements using a 20-port vector network analyser resulted in significantly shorter measurement times and better tomographic image quality than previous tower-based radars. A new method was developed for suppressing mutual antenna coupling without affecting the range resolution. Algorithms were developed for compensating for phase errors using an array radar and for correcting for pixel-variant impulse responses in tomographic images. Time series results showed large freeze/thaw backscatter variations due to freezing moisture in trees. P-band canopy backscatter variations of up to 10 dB occurred near instantaneously as the air temperature crossed 0โฐC, with ground backscatter responding over longer timescales. During nonfrozen conditions, the canopy backscatter was very stable with time. Evidence of backscatter variations due to tree water content were observed during hot summer periods only. A high vapour pressure deficit and strong winds increased the rate of transpiration fast enough to reduce the tree water content, which was visible as 0.5-2 dB backscatter drops during the day. Ground backscatter for cross-polarised observations increased during strong winds due to bending tree stems. Significant temporal decorrelation was only seen at P-band during freezing, thawing and strong winds. Suitable conditions for repeat-pass L-band interferometry were only seen during the summer. C-band temporal coherence was high over timescales of seconds and occasionally for several hours for night-time observations during the summer. Decorrelation coinciding with high transpiration rates was observed at L- and C-band, suggesting sensitivity to tree water dynamics.The observations from this experiment are important for understanding, modelling and mitigating temporal variations in radar observables in forest parameter estimation algorithms. The results also are also useful in the design of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar missions with interferometric and tomographic capabilities. The results motivate the implementation of single-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radars for forest applications at P-, L- and C-band

    Temporal Coherence Estimators for GBSAR

    Many Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GBSAR) applications demand preliminary analysis to select areas with high-quality signal. That is, areas in which the phase can be processed to extract the desired information. The interferometric coherence and the amplitude dispersion index are important tools widely used in the literature to assess the quality of GBSAR images. So far, no direct relation has been found between the two. Indeed, they are parameters of different natures: amplitude dispersion index is calculated with only amplitude values, while coherence provides information also on the signal phase. The purpose of this article is to find a relation between the two parameters. Indeed, the amplitude dispersion index provides some practical advantages if compared to coherence estimators, especially to perform fast preliminary analysis. In this article, a theoretical relation between amplitude dispersion index and coherence is retrieved. GBSAR measurements acquired in different scenarios, at different working frequencies are presented and used to validate such a relation

    Utilization of bistatic TanDEM-X data to derive land cover information

    Forests have significance as carbon sink in climate change. Therefore, it is of high importance to track land use changes as well as to estimate the state as carbon sink. This is useful for sustainable forest management, land use planning, carbon modelling, and support to implement international initiatives like REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation). A combination of field measurements and remote sensing seems most suitable to monitor forests. Radar sensors are considered as high potential due to the weather and daytime independence. TanDEM-X is a interferometric SAR (synthetic aperture radar) mission in space and can be used for land use monitoring as well as estimation of biophysical parameters. TanDEM-X is a X-band system resulting in low penetration depth into the forest canopy. Interferometric information can be useful, whereas the low penetration can be considered as an advantage. The interferometric height is assumable as canopy height, which is correlated with forest biomass. Furthermore, the interferometric coherence is mainly governed by volume decorrelation, whereas temporal decorrelation is minimized. This information can be valuable for quantitative estimations and land use monitoring. The interferometric coherence improved results in comparison to land use classifications without coherence of about 10% (75% vs. 85%). Especially the differentiation between forest classes profited from coherence. The coherence correlated with aboveground biomass in a Rยฒ of about 0.5 and resulted in a root mean square error (RSME) of 14%. The interferometric height achieved an even higher correlation with the biomass (Rยฒ=0.68) resulting in cross-validated RMSE of 7.5%. These results indicated that TanDEM-X can be considered as valuable and consistent data source for forest monitoring. Especially interferometric information seemed suitable for biomass estimation

    Estimation of Forest Height Using Spaceborne Repeat-Pass L-Band InSAR Correlation Magnitude over the US State of Maine

    Get PDF
    This paper describes a novel, simple and efficient approach to estimate forest height over a wide region utilizing spaceborne repeat-pass InSAR correlation magnitude data at L-band. We start from a semi-empirical modification of the RVoG model that characterizes repeat-pass InSAR correlation with large temporal baselines (e.g., 46 days for ALOS) by taking account of the temporal change effect of dielectric fluctuation and random motion of scatterers. By assuming (1) the temporal change parameters and forest backscatter profile/extinction coefficient follow some mean behavior across each inteferogram; (2) there is minimal ground scattering contribution for HV-polarization; and (3) the vertical wavenumber is small, a simplified inversion approach is developed to link the observed HV-polarized InSAR correlation magnitude to forest height and validated using ALOS/PALSAR repeat-pass observations against LVIS lidar heights over the Howland Research Forest in central Maine, US (with RMSE \u3c 4 m at a resolution of 32 hectares). The model parameters derived from this supervised regression are used as the basis for propagating the estimates of forest height to available interferometric pairs for the entire state of Maine, thus creating a state-mosaic map of forest height. The present approach described here serves as an alternative and complementary tool for other PolInSAR inversion techniques when full-polarization data may not be available. This work is also meant to be an observational prototype for NASAโ€™s DESDynI-R (now called NISAR) and JAXAโ€™s ALOS-2 satellite missions

    Differential Interferometry Techniques on L-Band Data Employed for the Monitoring of Surface Subsidence Due to Mining

    Get PDF
    Mining activities in South Africa changes the natural environment in several ways. Challenges for mining companies lie in the detection and monitoring of surface subsidence and there exists a need for a long term monitoring system. Field-based techniques for deformation measurement are labour intensive and time consuming and, consequently, the implementation of these techniques for long-term monitoring is not ideal. On the other hand, satellite remote sensing data provides a synoptic view of an area and the repeat image acquisition strategy implies that the long-term monitoring of surface deformation is a possibility. This paper investigates the use of L-band ALOS PALSAR data for the detection and monitoring of surface subsidence due to underground mining activities in the Witbank Coalfields. Surface subsidence was detected for a period of over 3 years between 2007/08/16 and 2010/10/09. Centimetre scale surface deformation was detected in the study area and is associated with areas of active mining. The systematic evolution of the surface deformation basins over time was recognised and is consistent with the advance of the working face of the mine during the same period. The results confirm that L-band synthetic aperture radar data through dInSAR techniques can be used for the long-term monitoring of surface subsidence associated with mining activities

SAR system has been known as a powerful and effective tool for estimating damaged area due to its imaging capability at night and cloudy days. One of the damage assessment methods is based on interferometric coherence generated from two or more SAR images, namely coherent change detection. The interferometric coherence is a very sensitive detector to subtle changes induced by dielectric properties and positional disturbance of scatterers. However, the conventional approaches using the interferometric coherence have several limitations in understanding the damage mechanism caused by natural disasters and providing the accurate spatial information. These limitations come from the complicated mechanism determining the coherence. A number of sources including the sensor geometry, radar parameters, and surface conditions can induce the decorrelation. In particular, the interpretation complexity of the interferometric coherence is severe over the vegetated area, due to the volumetric decorrelation and temporal decorrelation. It is a remaining problem that the decorrelation caused by the natural phenomena such as the wind, rain, and snow can come along the decorrelation caused by natural disaster. Therefore, a new accurate approach needs to be designed in order to interpret the decorrelation sources and discriminate the effect of natural disaster from that of natural phenomena. This research starts from the development of the temporal decorrelation model to interpret the interferometric coherence observed in multi-temporal SAR data. Then, the coherence model is extended to be applied to the damage mapping algorithm for single- and fully-polarimetric SAR data for detecting the damaged area caused by volcanic ash and wildfire. The coherence model is designed so that it explains the coherence behavior observed in the multi-temporal SAR data. The noticeable characteristic is that the interferometric coherence tends to decrease as the time-interval increases. Also, the coherence for multi-layer is determined by the different contributions of each layer. For example, the volume and ground layer can affect the total coherence observed in the forest area. In order to reflect the realistic condition and physically interpret the coherence, the coherence model proposed in this research includes several decorrelation sources such as temporally correlated dielectric changes, temporally uncorrelated dielectric changes and the motions in the two layersi.e. ground and volume layer. According to the proposed model, the coherent behavior of each layer is explained by exponentially decreasing coherence (temporally-correlated coherence), and the difference between the observed coherence and the temporally-correlated coherence is interpreted as the temporally-uncorrelated coherence. The ground-to-volume ratio plays an important role to determine the contributions of temporal decorrelations in ground and volume layer. Suggested model is applied into the coherent change detection for multi-temporal and single-polarized SAR data. The method is evaluated for detection of volcanic ash emitted from Kirishima volcano in 2011 using ALOS PALSAR data. The criterion of the spatial baseline is calculated based on the Random Volume over Ground model to minimize the volumetric decorrelation. The model parameters are extracted under the several assumptions, and then the historical coherence behavior is analyzed using kernel density estimation method. By comparing the changes of model parameters between the reference pairs and event pairs, the probability of surface changes caused by volcanic ash is defined. The in-situ data, which measure the depth and area density of volcanic ash, is compared with the calculated probability maps for determining the threshold and evaluating the performance. The correlation is found over the area where the depth of the volcanic ash is more than 5 cm and the area density is more than 10 kg/m2. The temporal decorrelation model is also used for change detection using multi-temporal and fully-polarimetric interferometric SAR data. By introducing polarimetric and interferometric SAR data, the assumptions used in the method for single-polarized SAR data are reduced and the changes of two layer can be estimated separately. The approach is applied to detect the burnt area caused by the Lake fire, in June 2015 using UAVSAR data. Even though, coherence analysis shows the loss of coherence due to the fire event, the temporal decorrelation caused by the natural changes is mixed with the signal of the event. In order to apply the coherence model and extract the model parameter, here, the three steps are proposedcoherence optimization, temporally-correlated coherence estimation, and temporally-uncorrelated coherence estimation. Then, the extracted model parameters are used for the damage assessment using the probability determination based on the history of natural phenomena. The final generated damage map shows higher performance than the damage mapping method using coherence only. Also, the comparison result with the RMoG model shows high agreement, which implies the extraction of the model parameters is reliable. One of the advantages of the proposed algorithm is that the more accurate delineation of damage area can be expected by isolating the decorrelation caused by the natural disaster from the effect of natural phenomena. Moreover, a distinguishable benefit can be obtained that the changes over ground and volume layers can be assessed separately by utilizing the multi-temporal full-polarimetric SAR data.Chapter 1.
