Abstract

Theoretical background of the multichannel (multifrequency and multipolarization) approach to radar remote sensing soil moisture and erosion state estimation is presented. Possible variants of radar data acquisition and their processing are discussed, they are based on preliminary experimental investigation results. The necessary operations of image-to-image and image-to-topology map superimposing as well as radar data preliminary filtering are considered. The results of remote sensing soil characteristic estimation using a multichannel airborne radar system are compared with in situ measurements, rather good accuracy of remote sensing estimates is proved.
