Abstract

SAR as an active remote sensing technique is capable of providing insights into the physical features of agricultural vegetation. However, the noisy nature of SAR signals makes the direct conversion to effective productivity metrics challenging. This study sheds light on the effect of gaps present in a sugarcane field on L-band and C-band SAR signals and demonstrates the variability of this effect with changing spatial averaging windows, changing precipitation conditions and changing vegetation height.
