Abstract

Soil surface roughness strongly affects the scattering of microwaves and determines the backscattering coefficient observed by SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of the spatial resolution of Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) and Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques to parameterize surface roughness over agricultural soils. Three experimental plots (5 x 5 meters) representing different roughness conditions were measured by TLS and SfM techniques. Roughness parameters (s and l) were calculated from profiles obtained at different spatial resolutions in parallel and in perpendicular to the tillage direction on each plot. The results showed minor differences in the parameters values between both techniques and, in general, a decreasing trend and an increasing trend for lower spatial resolutions for parameter s and l, respectively.
