Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: , the capabilities of hybrid polarimetric synthetic aperture radar are investigated to estimate soil moisture on bare and vegetated agricultural soils. A new methodology based on a compact polarimetric decomposition, together with a surface component inversion, is developed to retrieve surface soil moisture. A model-based compact decomposition technique is applied to obtain the surface scattering component under the assumption of a randomly oriented vegetation volume. After vegetation removal, the surface scattering component is inverted for soil moisture (under vegetation) by comparison with a surface component modeled by two physics-based scattering models: The integral equation method (IEM) and the extended Bragg model (X-Bragg). The developed algorithm, based on a two-layer (random volume over ground) scattering model, is applied on a time series of hybrid polarimetric C-band RISAT-1 right circular transmit linear receive data acquired from April to October 2014 over the Wallerfing test site in Lor Bavaria, Germany. The retrieved soil moisture is validated against  in situ  frequency-domain reflectometry measurements. Including the entire growing season (all acquired dates) and all crop types, the estimated soil moisture values indicate an overall rmse of 7 vol.% using the X-Bragg model and 10 vol.% using the IEM model. The proposed hybrid polarimetric soil-moisture inversion algorithm works ll for bare soils (    $\mbox{rmse}=3.1$  –8.9 vol.%) with inversion rates of around 30–70%. The inversion rate for vegetation-covered soils ranges from 5% to 40%, including all phenological stages of the crops and different soil moisture conditions.
