Abstract
The work detailed in this paper analyzes the topographic phase retrieval process on forested areas by means of Polarimetric Interferometric SAR data. On the basis of the Random Volume over Ground scattering model, an alternative implementation for the retrieval of the topographic phase, avoiding the bias introduced by the volumetric scattering components is presented.
