Evaluation of the Wishart Test Statistics for Polarimetric SAR Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A test statistic for equality of two covariance matrices following the complex Wishart distribution has previously been used in new algorithms for change detection, edge detection and segmentation in polarimetric SAR images. Previously, the results for change detection and edge detection have been quantitatively evaluated. This paper deals with the evaluation of segmentation. A segmentation performance measure originally developed for single-channel SAR images has been extended to polarimetric SAR images, and used to evaluate segmentation for a mergeusing-moment algorithm for polarimetric SAR data.

A new unsupervised classification algorithm is introduced for fully polarimetric SAR data. The agglomerative hierarchical algorithm and Wishart test statistics are used for the cluster segmentation, which includes the process of estimation the number of clusters. The Cloude-Pottier decomposition & HSI color transform are used for the target identification, which also automatically render the co...
متن کاملCFAR edge detector for polarimetric SAR images
Finding the edges between different regions in an image is one of the fundamental steps of image analysis, and several edge detectors suitable for the special statistics of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) intensity images have previously been developed. In this paper, a new edge detector for polarimetric SAR images is presented using a newly developed test statistic in the complex Wishart distri...
متن کاملChange Detection in Polarimetric SAR Data and the Complex Wishart Distribution
When working with multi-look fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data an appropriate way of representing the backscattered signal consists of the so-called covariance matrix. For each pixel this is a 3 3 Hermitian, positive definite matrix which follows a complex Wishart distribution. Based on this distribution a test statistic for equality of two such matrices and an associated a...

Polarimetric data of distributed scatterers can be fully characterized by the (3× 3) Hermitian positive definite matrix which follows a complex Wishart distribution under Gaussian assumption. A second observation in time will also follow Wishart distribution. Then, these observations are correlated or uncorrelated process over time related to the monitored objects. To not to make any assumption...
