Description:
A set of multidate, multilook angle polarimetric SAR data, acquired in Pennsylvania during July 1990 was recorded to determine the effect of local incidence angle. Cosine-based and polynomial models are found to be equally good for correcting SAR data for local incidence angle effects. A modified approach, considering the correction factor as additive rather than multiplicative, gave better results. The standard error in the estimation of soil moisture improves from 8.1 to 5.8 after applying corrections to incidence angle effects.
