3D Data from Interferometric SAR and Stereo Radargrammetry in Mapping of Forest Resources
Kirsi Karila1, Mika Karjalainen1, Xiaowei Yu1, Mikko Vastaranta2 1Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, Finland; 2University of Helsinki, Finland
Purpose of this study • 3D digital elevation models (DEM) are created from
satellite SAR data using two alternative approaches: – 1) SAR interferometry (InSAR) – 2) radargrammetry
• These DEMs are related to the forest canopy height models using accurate digital terrain model based on airborne lidar surveys.
• The study area is located in Evo, Southern Finland, from which plot- and stand-wise reference data of standard forest resources related parameters are available.
3D SAR techniques INSAR Stereo-radargrammetry
• Phase difference
• Baseline of hundreds of meters
• Simultaneous imaging required
• Stereoscopic measurement (automatic image matching)
• Baseline of hundreds of kilometers
• Similar conditions required
[0, 2π]
Evo campaign 2014 • Field inventory, TLS • MLS with ATV and PLS using backpack • Satellite and airborne data acquisition
Reference measurements • 91 test plots, 32m x 32m
• Pine 45 %, spruce 33 % and deciduous trees 22% of total volume

Forest attribute prediction • Attributes studied: Basal area, stem volume, biomass, mean
DBH and Lorey’s height (basal area weighted mean height) • From the SAR CHMs mean, max, min, std height, CV,
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90% percentiles of height distribution for the plots were extracted for the 32x32 m areas
• Area based approach and random forests (RF) technique were used in the prediction of the forest plot attributes
• Forest variables measured in the field were used as target observations and plot-specific metrics derived from SAR data were used as predictors.
• The predicted were compared to the reference values

Conclusions and future • InSAR results (1 pair) slightly better than stereo
(6 pairs) • Forest inventories of wide areas are possible
using SAR data combined with an accurate terrain model
• Forest change detection using SAR 3D data • Comparison to other 3D and 2D remote sensing
techniques
