A Multi-Year Study on Rice Morphological Parameter Estimation with X-Band Polsar Data

Rice fields have been monitored with spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems for decades. SAR is an essential source of data and allows for the estimation of plant properties such as canopy height, leaf area index, phenological phase, and yield. However, the information on detailed plant m...
