Abstract

Inverting the physical parameters which usually appear as inhomogeneous profiles from measurements has been a challenging task for the remote sensing community. Due to complexity of the media, the forward problem in remote sensing of forest, vegetation and sea ice, typically in random media, has attracted researchers’ efforts in the past two decades. Techniques which serve the ultimate goal of solving the inverse problem have also evolved and entered into a practical stage.
