Abstract
Crop phenology monitoring using Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) data is gaining popularity within the remote sensing community due to SAR’s all weather and large coverage imaging capability. This paper introduces a polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) based regression algorithm to retrieve BBCH scale of crops, which identifies the phenology of crops in a standardized system. The impact and applicability of the proposed methodology is successfully illustrated using the TerraSAR-X dual-pol imagery that was acquired over the cultivation period of paddy-rice fields located in Turkey. To assess the applicability of the methodology, root mean square and correlation analysis were performed under different amount of training data and number of inputs.
