Dual Polarisation Radar Mode For reasons of cost, data rate and coverage in radar design, it often employs a single transmitted polarisation state and a coherent dual channel receiver to measure orthogonal components of scattered signal.  The PALSAR sensor is just such a fully coherent-on-receive mode.  Such dual polarised radars are not capable of reconstructing the complete scattering matrix [S] but instead can be used to reconstruct a 2x2 wave coherency matrix [J]. (Cloude, POLINSAR 2007)

Partial Polarimetric Coherence Optimisation The coherence between two different polarisation channels: (Cloude & Papathanassiou, 1997) According to Reigber et al. (IGARSS 2008), HH-HV is clearly the better choice for all forested areas. where <> denotes spatial averaging,  and  contain the polarimetric information, while  contain baseline dependent polarimetric and interferometric information.  In the HH-HV pair, where  and  , total decorrelation over the forested areas is observed since the predominantly polarimetric  decorrelation between the HH-HV polarised backscattered signals is from areas dominated by volume scattering.
Polarimetric Coherence Optimisation To solve the coherence optimisation problem, we must maximise the modulus of a complex Lagrangian function L defined as The maximisation problem can be described by setting the partial derivatives to zero.  (Cloude & Papathanassiou, 1997) By solving these matrix equations, the estimates for  and  the optimal scattering mechanisms and the corresponding coherences in images i and j are obtained from the resulting eigenvalue problems
Partial Polarimetric Coherence Optimisation HV Coherence Optimised Coherence 0.9  0.1  0.5
Joint Processing of Dual Polarised Entropy/alpha Decomposition and Partial Polarimetric Coherence Optimisation  1). Generation of Entropy/alpha maps from PALSAR FBD SLC data implementing the above dual polarised Entropy/alpha decomposition algorithms; 2). Creation of the forest/non-forest discrimination map/mask using the Entropy/alpha classifier; 3). Coherence optimisation using multiple scattering mechanism approach described; 4). Non-forest region removal from the coherence map by the forest/non-forest mask derived from dual-pol Entropy/alpha maps; 5). Verification by in situ LiDAR forest canopy height data.
Optimised Coherence and LiDAR Canopy Height Map Optimised Coherence of AOI: a 10x10km Square with Non-forest Mask in White of HH-HV Pair Acquired on 19 Aug and 4 Oct 2008   LiDAR Forest Canopy Height Map of the AOI Acquired in Sept 2007: Blue – 0 meter, Green- 20 metres and Red – 40 metres. (Courtesy of Forestry Tasmania)
Optimised Coherence and LiDAR Canopy Height Map According to Le Toan (K&C 2010), the interferometric coherence ratio is sensitive to forest canopy height and the trend of coherence ratio is decreasing with a canopy height increase. That means the low coherence (red in left image) indicates a higher canopy height (red in right image).  One reason for anomaly/inconsistency in some areas could be that the ground cover changed due to the different acquisition dates of radar and LiDAR data (one year gap).

  • 9. Dual Polarisation Radar Mode For reasons of cost, data rate and coverage in radar design, it often employs a single transmitted polarisation state and a coherent dual channel receiver to measure orthogonal components of scattered signal. The PALSAR sensor is just such a fully coherent-on-receive mode. Such dual polarised radars are not capable of reconstructing the complete scattering matrix [S] but instead can be used to reconstruct a 2x2 wave coherency matrix [J]. (Cloude, POLINSAR 2007)

  • 16. Partial Polarimetric Coherence Optimisation The coherence between two different polarisation channels: (Cloude & Papathanassiou, 1997) According to Reigber et al. (IGARSS 2008), HH-HV is clearly the better choice for all forested areas. where <> denotes spatial averaging, and contain the polarimetric information, while contain baseline dependent polarimetric and interferometric information. In the HH-HV pair, where and , total decorrelation over the forested areas is observed since the predominantly polarimetric decorrelation between the HH-HV polarised backscattered signals is from areas dominated by volume scattering.
  • 17. Polarimetric Coherence Optimisation To solve the coherence optimisation problem, we must maximise the modulus of a complex Lagrangian function L defined as The maximisation problem can be described by setting the partial derivatives to zero. (Cloude & Papathanassiou, 1997) By solving these matrix equations, the estimates for and the optimal scattering mechanisms and the corresponding coherences in images i and j are obtained from the resulting eigenvalue problems

Generation of Entropy/alpha maps from PALSAR FBD SLC data implementing the above dual polarised Entropy/alpha decomposition algorithms; 2). Creation of the forest/non-forest discrimination map/mask using the Entropy/alpha classifier; 3). Coherence optimisation using multiple scattering mechanism approach described; 4). Non-forest region removal from the coherence map by the forest/non-forest mask derived from dual-pol Entropy/alpha maps; 5). Verification by in situ LiDAR forest canopy height data.

  • 21. Optimised Coherence and LiDAR Canopy Height Map According to Le Toan (K&C 2010), the interferometric coherence ratio is sensitive to forest canopy height and the trend of coherence ratio is decreasing with a canopy height increase. That means the low coherence (red in left image) indicates a higher canopy height (red in right image). One reason for anomaly/inconsistency in some areas could be that the ground cover changed due to the different acquisition dates of radar and LiDAR data (one year gap).
