Using a LIDAR Vegetation Model to Predict UHF SAR Attenuation in Coniferous Forests

Attenuation of radar signals by vegetation can be a problem for target detection and GPS reception, and is an important parameter in models describing vegetation backscatter. Here we first present a model describing the 3D distribution of stem and foliage structure based on small footprint scanning...
