This paper reports on an investigation aimed at evaluating
the performance of a neural-network based crop classification technique,
which makes use of backscattering coefficients measured in different C-band
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) configurations (multipolarization/multitemporal).
To this end, C-band AirSAR and European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS)
data collected on the Flevoland site, extracted from the European RAdar-Optical
Research Assemblage (ERA-ORA) library, have been used. Index Terms---Crop classification, neural networks, synthetic aperture radar (SAR). © 2003 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.
