Radar and optical modelling of forest remote sensing

This paper describes a parallel model which goal is to carry out sensibility studies on simulated radar and optical remote sensing forest data. It presents how the model has been set up, with a forest growth model as an input of an optical hyperspectral model and a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mod...

Description
Summary:This paper describes a parallel model which goal is to carry out sensibility studies on simulated radar and optical remote sensing forest data. It presents how the model has been set up, with a forest growth model as an input of an optical hyperspectral model and a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) model. The first results obtained by both models outputs are presented and a fusion of these output has been made and shows a complementarity of radar and optical data for biomass and moisture content inversions of forests.
