Relating Amazon forest biomass to polinsar extracted features

The combination of polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) with the interferometry capability (InSAR) enables the extraction of new features that enhances the development of biomass estimation models. This work aims in demonstrating the importance of the simultaneous use of several types of SAR features for estim...
