چکیده

This paper deals with a Maximum Likelihood (ML) shift estimation method in the context of High Resolution (HR) Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) clutter. Texture modeling is exposed and the generalized ML texture tracking method is extended to the merging of various sensors. Some results on displacement estimation on the Argentière glacier in the Mont Blanc massif using dual-pol TerraSAR-X (TSX) and quad-pol RADARSAT-2 (RS2) sensors are finally discussed.

On Single-look Multivariate G Distribution for PolSAR Data

For many applications where High Resolution (HR) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are required, like urban structures detection, road map detection, marine structures and ship detection etc., single-look processing of SAR images may be desirable. The G family of distributions have been known to fit homogeneous to extremely heterogeneous Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data very well and can be v...

Polarimetric Segmentation of Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery

This paper considers the problem of clutter segmentation in fully polarimetric, high resolution, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The goal of segmentation is to partition an image into regions of homogeneous terrain types (grass regions, tree regions, roads, etc.). Three approaches to segmentation are examined: (1) the optimal polarimetric classifier, (2) the optimal normalized polarimet...

The Extended Sub-look Analysis In Polarimetric SAR Data For Ship Detection

The monitoring of maritime areas with remote sensing is essential for security reasons and also for the conservation of environment. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can play an important role in this matter by considering the possibility of acquiring high-resolution images at nighttime and under cloud cover. Recently, the new approaches based on the sub-look analysis for preserving the infor...

Analysing Urban Areas using Multiple Track POL-InSAR Data at L-Band

This paper extends two single polarization multibaseline interferometric SAR high resolution techniques to the fully polarimetric configuration: the Music method and one approach based on maximum likelihood. These new algorithms enhance the height estimation of scatterers by calculating optimal polarization combinations and allow to determine their physical characteristics. First experimental r...
