Multi-Sensor InSAR Analysis of Progressive Land Subsidence over the Coastal City of Urayasu, Japan
Remote Sensing, 2018 In earthquake-prone areas, identifying patterns of ground deformation is important before they become latent risk factors. As one of the severely damaged areas due to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan, Urayasu City in Chiba Prefecture has been ...

Predicting soil organic carbon content in Spain by combining Landsat TM and ALOS PALSAR images
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2020 Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool and a key property of ecosystems. Compared with traditional field surveys, remote sensing (RS) represents a more efficient approach to mapping SOC, especially in larger-scale areas.

CROP SPECIES RECOGNITION AND DISCRIMINATION PADDY-RICE-GROWINGFIELDS FROM REAPED-FIELDS BY THE RADAR VEGETATION INDEX (RVI) OF ALOS-2/PALSAR2 [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 The Japanese ALOS-2 satellite was launched on May 24th, 2014. It has the L-band SAR, PALSAR-2. Kim,Y. and van Zyl, J.J. proposed a kind of Radar Vegetation Index (RVI) as RVI = 8 * σ0hv / (σ0hh + σ0vv + 2* σ0hv) by L-band full-polarimetric radar data ...
