The main purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of two radar backscattering models; the calibrated integral equation model (CIEM) and the modified Dubois model (MDB) over an agricultural area in Karaj, Iran. In the first part, the performance of the models is evaluated based on the field measurement and the mentioned backscattering models, CIEM and MDB performed with root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.78 dB and 1.45 dB, respectively. In the second step, based on the neural networks (NNS), soil surface moisture is estimated using the two backscattering models, based on neural networks (NNs), from single polarization Sentinel-1 images over bare soils. The inversion results show the efficiency of the single polarized data for retrieving soil surface moisture, especially for VV polarization.
本研究的主要目的是调查两种雷达后向散射模型的性能;校准积分方程模型(CIEM)和改进的杜波依斯模型(MDB)在伊朗卡拉季的一个农业区域上的性能。在第一部分中,基于实地测量对模型的性能进行评估,上述后向散射模型CIEM和MDB的均方根误差(RMSE)分别为0.78 dB和1.45 dB。在第二步中,基于神经网络(NNS),利用这两种后向散射模型,从裸露土壤上单极化哨兵 -1图像中估算土壤表面湿度。反演结果表明单极化数据在反演土壤表面湿度方面的有效性,特别是对于垂直极化(VV)。
