Abstract

Abstract C/X band and HH, HV, VH, VV polarization SAR data of Zhaoqing test site in southern China have been acquired in November, 1993, as part of the GlobeSAR program. These data have been processed using the PCI software (PCI Inc.) and analyzed with the support of the field investigation. This paper presents some scientific results of the SAR applications in the fields of geology, forestry, agriculture, and hydrology. Geologic experiments were conducted to study rock type dielectrics and gold mineralization zones. A forestry exploration experiment aims to investigate the forest type discrimination. The agriculture experiment is conducted to study land cover and crop type classification. The hydrology experiment is mainly for studying the river channel processes and determining the submerged area due to flooding by comparing the GlobeSAR data with CASSAR data. Significant results have been achieved in the four application areas. It is shown that radar remote sensing technology, especially with multi‐ban...
