Abstract

In continuation of the BACCHUS project, aimed at establishing a reference high quality geographic information system for vineyards, an airborne SAR survey has been carried out in fall 2005 in the Frascati area, near Rome (Italy) to demonstrate the potential of airborne radar remote sensing in vineyard characterization. This contribution reports on the polarimetric L-band and dual polarization C-band SAR data acquisition campaign supported by ESA and carried out on two dates in October 2005 (the first during the grape harvest and the other after the vintage completion).
