4 PolSARpro SIM PolSARproSim is a rapid, coherent, fully polarimetric and interferometric SAR simulation of forest.

5 PolSARpro SIM The SAR image is evaluated as a coherent sum of scattering events from small elements of the scene Direct-Ground, Direct-Volume and Ground-Volume contributions are included, with both trees and short vegetation comprising Volume terms. DECIDUOUS GV DG DV PINE RANDOM HEDGE Given the map of tree locations and dimensions a grid of points is used to sample the attenuation of the coherent wave in 3D
