  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the estimation of forest heights and its underlying ground topography by applying dual-baseline SAR tomographic techniques to single-pass L-Band PolInSAR data. In this paper the feasibility of this special single-pass tomographic configuration is demontrated over boreal forests at the test site of Edson in Alberta, Canada. The estimated ground topography and tree top heights are validated against LiDAR data.
