A Statistical Inverse Method for Gridding Passive Microwave Data with Mixed Measurements

When a passive microwave footprint intersects objects on the ground with different spectral characteristics, the corresponding observation is mixed. The retrieval of geophysical parameters is limited by this mixture. We propose to partition the study region into objects following an object-based ima...
