The analysis shows a significant higher correlation at VH (R=0.70 and R=0.65 resp.) than at VV polarization (R=0.15and R=0.32 resp.) for both the crop species analyzed. The results seem to suggest the possibility of using SAR X-Band VH data for crop status monitoring, at least for carrot and pea fields. © 2015 IEEE.conference paper10.1109/IGARSS.2015.7326697https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7326697
