摘要：

We investigated the relationship between the leaf area index (LAI) of rice and the ENVISAT Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) vertical/horizontal (VV/HH) polarization ratio. Four alternating polarization ASAR images of swaths IS4 and IS5 over rice fields were used in the study. The VV/HH polarization ratio correlates well with the field-measured LAI and an empirical relationship was established to estimate the LAI of rice using the VV/HH polarization ratio. A theoretical radiative transfer model was adopted to analyse the relationship. The error of the estimated LAI was 0.17 for the test site and a better correlation was found when LAI was less than 3.5. The results suggest that ASAR alternating polarization data can be used to estimate the LAI of rice for wide-area monitoring of rice growth.
