Abstract
The inversion of physics based models presents an alternative to empirical relationships for the retrieval of forest structure from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. A major disadvantage of such techniques is instability in the presence of moderate levels of noise. The effects of noise on the accuracy with which parameters can be retrieved is evaluated in this study under a number of conditions.
