Abstract :
The Multiple Temporal RADARSAT images were used to monitor the growth status of rice in Zhaoqing test site of south China. The relative brightness of rice fields shows that the radar backscatter increases as the rice grows up, and it is related to the growing period and status of rice and changes over different seasons
