Soil Moisture Estimation by SAR in Alpine Fields Using Gaussian Process Regressor Trained by Model Simulations

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Jelena Stamenkovic

In this paper, we address the problem of retrieving soil moisture over a grassland alpine area from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data using a statistical algorithm trained by simulations of a physical model. A time series of C-band VV-polarized Wide Swat ...

Synergy of hyperspectral and microwave remote sensing data to derive bio- and geo-physical parameters for land applications

Jelena Stamenkovic

Retrieval of bio/geophysical variables from remote sensing imagery is an important research field. Due to the development and availability of different EO satellites, especially the ones with hyperspectral sensors, the combined use of radar and optical ima ...

Crop Backscatter Modeling And Soil Moisture Estimation With Support Vector Regression

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Devis Tuia, Jelena Stamenkovic, Maurice Borgeaud

In this paper, we used an improved version of the Tor Vergata radiative transfer model to simulate the backscattering coefficient for the L-band SAR signals over areas covered with vegetation. Fields of winter wheat, maize and sugar beet observed during th ...

Estimation of Soil Moisture from Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery with Support Vector Regression

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Devis Tuia, Frank Grégoire Jean de Morsier, Maurice Borgeaud, Jelena Stamenkovic

In this paper, we propose to estimate soil moisture in bare soils directly from hyperspectral imagery using support vector regression (nu-SVR). nu-SVR is a supervised non-parametric learning technique, e.g. making no assumption on the underlying data distr ...
