Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can monitor rice regardless of time and weather condition, and the ability of crop lodge monitoring has been demonstrated by previous studies. However, there have no study about monitoring of rice lodging using satellite-based SAR. In this study, we extracted backscatter coefficient (BC) and H/A/Alpha polarimetric parameters from dual-polarized Sentinel-1 SAR data, and a lodging sensitivity factor γ was constructed for selecting optimal radar feature parameter (ORFP) which is highly sensitivity to lodging rice. Then, the decision tree classification method was used with multiple ORFPs to classify the healthy and lodging rice plots. We firstly acquired shape of rice region using Sentinel-2 image and Maximum likelihood classification method for eliminating the influence of other features before classification of lodging rice. The result showed that the overall accuracy of 87.18% is achieved with the combination of ORFPs and decision tree.
