Three-frequency quad-polarization data used to distinguish among different types of cover. MAPVEG computer program performs first-level classification of NASA/JPL AIRSAR polarimetric synthetic-aperture-radar (SAR) data into simple ground-cover types. Classification images generated used to separate vegetated from nonvegetated areas; useful in determining soil moisture in areas free of vegetation. Classification separates forests from surrounding vegetation, and used to identify clear-cut areas. Urban areas and potential marshlands examples of other identifiable classes. Written in FORTRAN 77.
