Abstract  

The research of retrieving surface roughness and soil moisture under natural bare soils using SAR data has been refined over the last few years; Researchers have proposed lots of backscattering models and inverting techniques.Based on the backscattering models proposed,this paper established a database including surface parameters and backscattering coefficients as well as the surface parameters using genetic algorithm,backscattering coefficients in the database and the surface parameters; Then,the surface parameters were inverted using SIR-C SAR image based on AIEM and Oh models,respectively,and results were analyzed statistically.Therefore,the algorithm above supplies new idea for retrieving surface parameters using radar images.

Key words:   Radar backscattering coefficients      AIEM      Oh model      Genetic algorithm      Parameter inversion
