Abstract :
In the follow-up 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 investigate on the potential of radar remote sensing in vineyard monitoring. This contribution reports the joint use of high resolution polarimetric SAR data and QuickBird optical data in order to evaluate the potential of remote sensing in vineyard detection and bio-physical parameters retrieval.
