Don Atwood & David SmallIGARSS July Normalized Radar Cross Sections Nadir Sensor Far Near A σ & σ 0 A γ & γ 0 A β & β 0 Let’s compute Normalized Radar Cross Sections for an Ellipsoidal Earth for Topography

Don Atwood & David SmallIGARSS July Relationships between cross sections for ellipsoidal surfaces Backscatter Reference Areas For an Ellipsoidal Earth

Don Atwood & David SmallIGARSS July Terrain-flattening We need to move beyond the ellipsoidal Earth to the hills and valleys of the Fairbanks region: Address the layover and foreshortening of geometric distortions Correct the radiometric variations associated with topography. To improve our radiometry: ➡ use local area contributing to backscatter at each location in the SAR scene

Don Atwood & David SmallIGARSS July Impact of RTC on forest classification No Normalization USGS Reference RTC

Don Atwood & David SmallIGARSS July Conclusions In general, PolSAR classification is difficult! Data fusion provides greatest hope for accurate classification results Radiometric variability caused by topography dominates PolSAR classification Area-based RTC offers effective way to “flatten” SAR radiometry RTC of Coherency Matrix shown to improve classification accuracy: Impact most pronounced for Deciduous Forests Although not complete, RTC approach is simple and effective Different scattering mechanisms (SB, DB, Volume) have different sensitivities to topography. RTC does not address this However, RTC is very effective first order correction for segmenting polarimetric data by phenology rather than topography
