摘要

The coastal environment of northern Australia is dominated by relatively unmodified wetlands. These ecosystems represent a unique challenge from a remote sensing perspective due to their inherent heterogeneity and strong seasonal variation. This paper focuses on the utility of multi-frequency polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data in mapping the vegetation of a tropical wetland. Radar backscatter at lower wavelengths interact with the grasses and sedges of the floodplain, whereas the longer wavelengths are attenuated by vegetation but preserve variation caused by soil characteristics. Radar's sensitivity to structural differences allows the discrimination of grasses and sedges. In contrast, remotely sensed data using optical wavelengths such as Landsat TM, SPOT XS data, and even colour aerial photographs, provide relatively little information in this environment. Classification results are presented using the backscatter intensities at three frequencies and the scattering mechanisms derived from the phase and correlation of co-polarised returns. It was concluded that SAR facilitates more detailed and accurate mapping of the ecologically important wetlands of northern Australia than previously possible with optical data. This is of particular importance in view of SAR's ability to monitor seasonal variations in this environment independent of cloud cover, which is ubiquitous for the wet season.
