Abstract :
The quantitative bio/geo physical agricultural and land-use parameter estimation has attained significant prominence as it is a challenge to quantify complex and fast changing media in terms of geometry and material properties. In this work the behavior of agricultural vegetation in terms of polarimetric interferometric SAR (Pol-InSAR) observables is investigated. For this a two layer model, the Oriented Volume over Ground (OVoG) model, is discussed and validated against experimental data
