Towards the understanding of the C-Band temporal signature of boreal forest through physiology parameters retrieval from sentinel-1 time series and machine learning

Résumé

The C-Band radiometric signature of boreal forests is highly seasonal, with apparent correlations to temperature changes. Within these seasonal components, we assume that information related to tree height can be extracted. We apply a onedimensional Convolutional Neural Network to assess this assumption, intending to retrieve tree height measured by Airborne Laser Scanning from C-Band Sentinel-1 time series. A study site in the Parc National des Grands Jardins, in Québec, Canada, was selected for this analysis. Prediction-wise, we reach an R2 score of 0.45 and an RMSE of 1.84m, following a 4-fold cross-validation, which exhibits a non-negligible influence of the tree height parameter on boreal forest radiometric response in C-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar, despite the presumed fast saturation of this wavelength, when observing forested environments. In addition to performance metrics, we use a gradient-based explainability tool to diagnose the most contributing periods of the input time series to predict tree height to better correlate the seasonal conditions of this parameter's influence on the forests' radiometry.
