There is a huge potential in the combination of high resolution optical and SAR data in order to generate high level products for land applications. In the very near future a wealth of data will be made available by the providing high spatial resolution / high temporal resolution multichannel data. However, in order to fully understand the processes and ensure a robust retrieval, a data driven approach has to be complemented by a solid theoretical modelling strategy where it is ensured that the modelling inputs and approaches are made consistent between the two wavelength domains. The objective of this activity is to consolidate the theoretical modelling elements and to develop and validate a prototype algorithm exploiting multisource data sets from high resolution imagers (optical and SAR) for a selected land use type (focus will be put on agriculture) with the purpose of demonstrating the added value of this combination.
