  • Abstract
    This paper presents the case for the use of dual-polarimetric entropy/alpha parameters in classification of healthy vs. un-healthy vegetation (River Red Gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis). TerraSAR-X fully polarimetric data from the Dual Receive Antenna (DRA) mode campaign performed early in 2010 is used for this purpose.
