SAR imaging of tropical African forests with P band multibaseline acquisitions: Results from the AfriSAR campaign
AfriSAR is an ESA funded airborne P band SAR campaign over the African tropical forests of Gabon that is being carried out by ONERA (July 2015) and DLR (February 2016) in support of the development of the geophysical algorithms of the future BIOMASS mission. Multibaseline fully polarimetric acquisitions have been designed over four test sites in order to further develop and validate algorithms for the estimation of forest upper canopy height, 3 D structure and biomass by implementing PolSAR (SAR Polarimetry) Pol InSAR (Polarimetric SAR Interferometry) and TomoSAR (SAR Tomography) P band measurements. In this paper first data processing results will be shown.
