Abstract :
From the frequency characteristic of L and C band, in this paper, a new phase based method of vegetation height estimation using dual frequency SIR-C polarimetric SAR interferometry data is presented. Compared the preliminary result with field measurement data, it indicates that the inversion algorithm can obtain the height of vegetation with an acceptable accuracy
