Polarimetric Calibration Using Polarization Orientation Angles of Built-up Areas
نویسنده
چکیده
A new polarimetric calibration method using polarization orientation angle shifts at built-up areas and standard calibrators is studied. Calibration matrices were derived from datasets of the Gifu and the JAXA Tomakomai calibration sites, which are almost the same as those by JAXA. Faraday rotation angels in observed datasets can be estimated. Two estimated Faraday rotation angles were reasonable.

Separation of Built-up Areas Using Polarization Orientation from Polarimetric Sar Images
Polarimetric decomposition and classification are important applications for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) images. Among many methods developed so far, entropy-anisotropy-alpha classification [1] and three component decomposition [2] are most popular. In an urban area analysis, it is found that the polarimetric analysis has a problem to identify built-up areas. With the three c...
متن کاملPolarimetric Calibration of CASMSAR P-Band Data Affected by Terrain Slopes Using a Dual-Band Data Fusion Technique
For airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetric calibration (PolCAL) based on distributed targets, it is important to ensure the removal of both the polarimetric distortion and terrain slope effect. This paper proposes a new technique for PolCAL in mountainous areas, without the use of corner reflectors (CRs). The technique based on dual-band data fusion consists of two steps. First, t...
متن کاملImprovement of Biomass Estimation in Forest Areas based on Polarimetric Parameters Optimization of SETHI airborne Data using Particle Swarm Optimization Method
Estimation of forest biomass has received much attention in recent decades. Airborne and spaceborne (SAR) have a great potential to quantify biomass and structural diversity because of its penetration capability. Polarizations are important elements in SAR systems due to sensitivity of them to backscattering mechanisms and can be useful to estimate biomass. Full Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture ...
متن کاملLand Cover Classification based on Polarimetric Coherence Signatures
The paper presents a new form of polarimetric interferometric information visualization: polarimetric coherence signatures. These signatures combine the idea of conventional polarization signatures and the concept of interferometric coherence. The polarimetric coherence signature plot shows the magnitude of the interferometric coherence as a function of the polarization ellipse parameters (elli...
متن کاملPolarimetric and Interferometric SAR Calibration Verification Methods
It is necessary to calibrate SAR data in order to use the data for science applications. When both polarimetric and interferometric data are collected simultaneously, these SAR data can be used for cross-calibration and verification. The frequency of polarimetric and interferometric data does not have to be the same for this purpose. For example, the NASA/JPL AIRSAR system can acquire C-band in...
