The soil moisture content ground monitoring method has the advantage of high precision, but only can acquire the water content of the soil at discrete points, and has the defects of low updating frequency and high consumption of manpower and material resources in the dynamic monitoring of the soil moisture. The remote sensing technology is applied to the aspect of quantitative monitoring of soil moisture by virtue of the advantages of non-contact, large-scale and high-timeliness observation. In particular, the microwave remote sensing technology has all-day and all-weather observation capability, has strict theoretical basis between observed quantity and soil moisture, and provides a solid foundation for quantitative inversion of soil moisture by utilizing microwave remote sensing data.

However, the inversion of the soil moisture content by radar technology is influenced by factors such as vegetation coverage and soil surface roughness, significant results are obtained in the current inversion research of bare soil moisture, and certain errors exist in the inversion analysis of the soil moisture in the vegetation coverage area, so that the influence of vegetation on radar scattering information is required to be considered in the vegetation coverage area so as to obtain scattering information representing the soil surface characteristics, and a corresponding soil moisture inversion model is established.

The polarization scattering information can effectively represent the geometric characteristics and physical characteristics of an observation target, the polarization scattering information representing different scattering mechanisms of the target can be obtained by decomposing the polarization target for the full-polarization SAR data, and effective characteristic parameters are provided for vegetation coverage soil inversion. The radar back scattering information is sensitive to the response of the soil dielectric characteristics, and is widely applied to quantitative inversion of soil moisture as an important characteristic parameter for representing the soil surface moisture. Aiming at the influence of vegetation coverage, vegetation and soil surface characteristic parameters are respectively extracted through polarized scattering information, and the backscattering information and the polarized information which characterize the soil surface characteristics are obtained through effective elimination of the vegetation information, so that an important thought is provided for carrying out quantitative inversion on soil surface moisture by combining the polarized information and radar backscattering information.
Although the existing method for extracting the water content of the soil by utilizing SAR observation information is more, the method for effectively removing or inhibiting the vegetation coverage influence from the perspective of radar scattering mechanism is lacked facing the vegetation coverage influence, so that radar scattering information representing the soil surface characteristics is obtained. At present, single polarized scattering information or radar back scattering information is mostly adopted for soil moisture inversion research, and cooperative application of the polarized information and the radar back scattering information is lacking, so that reliability of soil moisture inversion is improved. Therefore, a method capable of effectively removing the influence of vegetation coverage on soil moisture inversion is needed in the field, the scattering characteristics of the vegetation coverage soil surface are obtained from the radar scattering mechanism angle, the optimal combination of inversion characteristic parameters is realized through the cooperative polarization scattering information and the radar back scattering information, and an accurate and reliable quantitative inversion method for the soil moisture under vegetation coverage conditions is constructed.
