UAVSAR Tomography for Vertical Profile Generation of Tropical Forest of Mondah National Park, Gabon
Abstract Polarimetric synthetic‐aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing has been widely used for structural and biophysical parameters retrieval of forest vegetation. It has been found that the combination of polarimetric properties and interferometric characteristics of SAR remote sensing provides the capacity to retrieve forest height.

Estimation of Equivalent Number of Looks in Time-Series Pol(In)SAR Data
As an essential parameter in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, the equivalent number of looks (ENL) not only indicates the speckle noise level in multi-look SAR data but also can be used for evaluating the region homogeneity level.
