  • Abstract
    In this paper we employ a two-level polarimetric coherent vegetation scattering model to investigate parameter estimation for dual baseline fully polarimetric radar interferometry. We show that the height and ground phase can be determined without assumptions about the minimum ground to volume scattering ratio and also we investigate the influence of vertical canopy structure on inversion.
