Abstract :
Presents different polarimetric and interferometric inversion radar approaches to extract the characteristics of vegetation and bare soil surfaces. The inversion techniques presented make use of multifrequency, radar interferometric and polarimetric data to increase the number of input data. The proposed techniques have been experimentally tested under laboratory conditions as well as in real outdoor scenarios
