Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 太空科學研究所 === 84 === The inversion of the random surface roughness and soil moisture from radar backscattering coefficient is an important subject in remote sensing. The relations between the radar backscattering coefficient and surface roughness and soil moisture are a highly nonlinear. In this article, we first develop an inversion method based on a soil scattering model and a dynamic learning neural network, and then apply this method to the surface parameters retrieval from SAR image. In order to understand the relations between the soil dielectric constant and moisture content, we perform a series of measurements using two methods: dielectric probe and free space, and examine the consistency of the two methods. The interactions of electromagnetic wave and soil surface is very complicated. Since the soil scattering model proposed is accounted for single scattering from surface alone, this is quite different from the real world condition. So we apply the target decomposition theorem to single out the single scattering term from the SAR image to improve the inversion results.
