  • Abstract
    The random volume over ground model has been extensively used for forest height inversion using Pol-InSAR data. Two different forest models are proposed to better represent the forest structure for height inversion using Pol-InSAR. The first one takes into account a vertically varying mean extinction coefficient and the second one considers contributions localized in a finite height interval.
