Temporal backscatter characterisation of ratoon rice crops based on Sentinel-1 intensity data by Vidya Nahdhiyatul Fikriyah, Roshanak Darvishzadeh, Alice Laborte, Jitender Rathore, Andrew Nelson

“…Although current remote sensing-based rice monitoring systems have considered rice ratooning systems, nothing is known about the temporal backscatter response of ratoon rice, which is necessary for accurate rice ratooning detection in cloud-pervasive regions. Using backscatter time series from Sentinel-1A/B data, for the first time, we characterized the temporal backscatter signatures of ratoon rice crops in four features (VV and VH polarizations, the ratio of VH/VV, and the radar vegetation index (RVI)) to determine the optimal period and SAR features for main and ratoon rice discrimination. …”
