....are quite difficult when no extra data such as a digital elevation model (DEM) of the ground is not available. We so propose to use the most simple reflection model which corresponds to the Lambertian one. In the case of the French Guyana, this hypothesis has been verified in a previous paper [14]; in the contrary case, a process for its estimation is also described. From this Lambertian consideration, we derive an expression (Eq 4) of the backscattered intensity, noted I r : I r (ff; fi) Koe o cos 2 ( Gamma ff) cos 2 (fi)A(ff; fi) 4) where K is a calibration constant, oe o the ....
....elevation maps computed from Radarsat images acquired with different incidence angles enable us to conclude on two points. The first point concerns the Lambertian hypothesis used for the backscatter model. In order to verify this assumption, we proposed an estimation process which is detailed in [14]. This method reveals that the Lambertian model is correctly used in the case of tropical ground cover, as it is in French Guyana. But this process needs to be much more tested and compared to another method of backscatter model estimation. The second point that we conclude by using Radarsat ....
