I N'TRUUUGTI ON

Thu Landsat and Skylab programs have vividly demonstrated the ^r

utility of spacecraft data for earth resource applications. These

applications include mineral and petroleum exploration, agricultural and i

natural vegotation discrimination, land use anilandfarm classification

and it host of others (Matthews,

19711). A

recurront theme in the reports

of these applications is the necessity of timaly

data

acquisition and the

z

desire

for it taeasnrement paramater responsive to moistu re.

Radar has

r

J

long been proposed as the logical extension of the currant orbital vomot:c

sensing capability. The frequency range and active made of operation of

radar provide the desired day-night all-weather sensing capability. This

w

;t

oparntionitl advantage coupled with the capability nP rapid data

+_

acquisition has led to extensivo use of airborne radar as a substitute

r .

I

for photography, particularly in vemnto and cloud-shrouded regions of the

world. This type of application involves int:erpretat:ion of the scone

goometry as transformed by the imago system, Discrimination of areas and

regions is utilized, but little identification is attempted by other

than heuristic methods, Virtually all commercial uses of radar are

based on operational convenience and the advantage afforded by having

solectable angles of incidence and orienLntinn to enhance terrain

:shadowing.

for

Several years, resonrehers in radar remote Sensing have att:emptod

to idrnt:ify specifie applications that make use of the unique information

contained in the scattered return produced as a result of

the

the terrain-sensor

(5)

interaction, Brie , ly stated, the unique features of the radar return are

4 a sensitivity to roughness (structure) at the wavelength scale, a

sensitivity to moisture content. (composition) caused by the relatively

1 high permittivity of water, and the ability at lower frequencies to

penetrate a significant depth of material. Applications development

involves relating roughness or permittivity changes to desired properties

7'^

1^77

l

of the terrain and selection of the system operating parameters to

enhance these changes. System specification and image analysis

primarily involve attempts to separate changes due to roughness and

permittivity, and then to separate roughness into vegetation and ground

(volume or surface scatter) components. 3ecause both types of variation

are expressed as changes in intensity, this separation requires multi-

!^ parameter, multisensor, or a priori information of the target.

Long wavelength systems have been proposed as a means of enhancing

several earth resource applications. Vhere signal return from vegetation

can be elsminated, the longer wavelen g th provides roughness discrimination

on a larger scale. The longer wavelength also has been proposed as a

means of decreasing the roughness sensitivity (both surface and I

i vegetation) of agricultural fields and thus enhancing sensitivity to

soil moisture changes. An additional benefit may be increased penetration

which provides the moisture estimate for • an increased depth of the surface

material. Because long wavelength radars may be less sensitive to

vegetation changes and consequently more responsive to the underlying

r

surface, their use could improve geologic mapping.

RADAR IMAGERY

In the upland regions of the test site both tho May and April

imagery of forested areas showed a relatively uniform gray tone and

cleared areas were uniformly dark. The pattern was the same for hoth

the like and cross polarized images, and little difference in discrimination

capabilit y was apparent among the various polarizations. Figure 2R is an

example of an L-band image (1111) from the `iay flights illustrating the

appearance of the upland regions. Figure ?A shows nearly the same area

as recorded by a Ka-hand (1111) radar system. However, in the lowland

areas, detailed examination of both polarizations produced by the May

flights revealed several regions of anomolous return. In tult.ivated

areas, well defined field ilatterns with intensity variations spannimI the full rankle

of the f i 1 iii were ev i

drnt

on the like polarized imagery.

The cross polarized imagery of the sa:.,e areas shoved all fields as a

relatively uniform low return with the field boundaries faintly visible,

apparently because of fencing and vegetation on the boundaries. These

returns are shown in figure s, 3 and 4.

To investigate these anomalies, field checks of the areas including

discussions with individu,►1 farmers were conducted in an attempt to

establish the conditions at the time of overflight. host of the fields in

the areas were planted with soybeans which according tc planting dates

and crop calendar should have ranged from ,just emergent to a maximiwi

height of six inches at the time of imagin(l. The only discernible

` Most observations of row orien • ation sensitivity have been at

r higher frequencies and/or in the presence of screening vegetation

(Batlivala and Ulaby, 1975). Consequently, the ground return has

been interpr-%ted by a Y.irchoff or physical optics model which is

inherently a high frequency rodel. T' o- usual interpretation is that

the near side of the rows tends to orient a greater portion of the surface

near normal to the inci.:ent radiation causing an incre-sed specular

I

return component. The frequency dependence of the orientation

sensitivity is interpreted as being a consequence of the greater vegetation

penetration capability of the lower frequencie; which causes the ground

to influence the return more at low frequencies and the vegetation to

mask the gr- A and give a more unifor-1 return at higher- frequencies.

The Iona -_veiength ane relatively lo,i height of the furrows in the

e-ampler shown here violate the basic assu-nptions of the physical optics

,i model rendering it unsuitable for this analysis.

1

The roughness scale and wavelength range in these examples are

much more consistent with the P,ice or small perturbation model which is

inherently a low frequency model. Her-2 the return is basically considered

the summation from components in the surface roughness spectrum satisfying

the Bragg condition (Bar • r• ick and Peake, Though both the physical

optics and small perturbation models lead to Bragg scatter, the

interpreta-tion is more apparent in the small perturba t ion model and the scale is more

compatible with this model. The surface obviously has a broadly uniform

small scale roughness spectrums with an isolated large scale spike

corresponding to the row periodicity.

The mechanism observed here is apparently simple Bragg scatter,

however, there is no evidence of banding in the imagery such as would

be expected if the individual nodes or sidelobes of the Bragg diffraction

(15)

J ^^

pattern were discriminated. Because the surface is a composite of

several roughness scales,some filling of the pattern apparently occurs

to smooth out the distinct mode pattern ex,,ected from a single componer;t.

The lack of corresponding well defined patterns in higher

frequency imagery taken at tirr,es when lost fields are fallow leads

to the conclusion that there is a significant frequency dependence in the

effect of row orientation even in the absence of vegetation. As the

wavelength of the system approaches the period of the rows the lower order

Bragg modes dominate the return. At shorter wavelengths the higher

order modes are inure effectively smoothed by the higher frequency roughness

components. In essence this effect is simply another , manifestation of

"size filtering" in the rough surface radar return.

The lack of field definition in the cross polarized imagery is

attributed to the almost complete lack. of vegetation. The mechanism of

depolarization requires a double-bounce or reflectiuii, thus it is

much mote sensi.ive to volume scattering than to surface scattering,

particularly one that fits the criterion of slightly rough.

In those areas where the May coverage provided overLrp of normal

and extended swaths, returns in the far rage of the extended swath were

of diminished intensity in comparison with those from similar fields

imaged in the normal swath. Confirmation of the belief that re.tr-rn

intensity might also be incidence angle dependent was provided by the

April 1978 imagery. The April covera5e included two swaths of relatively

'large incidence angles (43 0 -71 0 figu r e 1), and the anomalous return

from bare fields was significantly red-iced. The diffraction or grating

effect caused by periodicity of the surface should, in general, he

inversely proportional to incidence angle. As incidence angle is increased,

SUM"!ARY

Long wavelength radar appears to offer some advantage in

vegetation penetration. However, the increased wavelength increases the

sensitivity to larger scale structure, especially at relatively small

angles of incidence. The regularity of agricultural and urban scenes

provide large components in the large scale portion of the roughness

spectrum that are highly sensitive to orientation. The range of return

variation due to the different orientation of relatively small rows

is seen to equ.rl or exceed what may be expected as a result of either

soil FlOisture or• vegetation differences. If long wavelengtrr radar is

to be used in an agricultural environment, it is essential that r.hi;

effect be identifiable to allow meaningful measurements of soil or

vegetation.

The addition of a cross ;polarized channel permits discrimin.1tion

of vegetation and orientational effects. This capahi1ity would he

essential for any a ,_lriculturOl application. Whether even this technique

provides sufficient correction to allow the measurement of soil moisture

cannot he determined. However, soil moisture measurement in the L-band

frequency range, at relative l y small angles of incidcmce, appears to

he impossible without the use of cross polarized data.
