GreenScatter: Through-Canopy Soil Moisture Sensing with UAV-Mounted Radar
Luke Jacobs, Ishfaq Aziz, Benhao Lu +3
Soil moisture is a critical variable for managing irrigation, improving crop yield, and understanding field-scale hydrology. Radars mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer…
Bridging simulation and reality in subsurface radar-based sensing: physics-guided hierarchical domain adaptation with deep adversarial learning
Zixin Wang, Ishfaq Aziz, Mohamad Alipour
Accurate estimation of subsurface material properties, such as soil moisture, is critical for wildfire risk assessment and precision agriculture. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is…
Continuous subsurface property retrieval from sparse radar observations using physics informed neural networks
Ishfaq Aziz, Mohamad Alipour
Estimating subsurface dielectric properties is essential for applications ranging from environmental surveys of soils to nondestructive evaluation of concrete in infrastructure. Co…
UAV-Based Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture Across Diverse Land Covers: Validation and Bayesian Uncertainty Characterization
Runze Zhang, Ishfaq Aziz, Derek Houtz +4
High-resolution soil moisture (SM) observations are critical for agricultural monitoring, forestry management, and hazard prediction, yet current satellite passive microwave missio…
