چکیده
This paper reports the result of the study in the AOE869 test site by exploring ASAR/APP dual polarization (VV, VH) image. The result is very promising, as it could differentiate clearly two land cover types : forest timber plantation and oil palm plantation. Although they play an important role for the monitoring of deforestation, these land covers were difficult to be differentiated in high resolution optical imageries (Landsat, SPOT,ASTER),. This ability is also required to monitor leakage in the project area for CDM A/R purpose of the Kyoto Protocol. ESA policy for the provision of free PolSAR PRO analysis software has given a concrete multiplier effect for the future potential market of polarimetric SAR data, especially in the developing countries.

Estimation of Normalized Coherency Matrix through the Sirv Model. Application to High Resolution Polsar Data
In the context of non-Gaussian polarimetric clutter models, this paper presents an application of the recent advances in the field of Spherically Invariant Random Vectors (SIRV) modelling for coherency matrix estimation in heterogeneous clutter. The complete description of the POLSAR data set is achieved by estimating the span and the normalized coherency independently. The normalized coherency...
متن کاملOptimum Ensemble Classification for Fully Polarimetric SAR Data Using Global-Local Classification Approach
In this paper, a proposed ensemble classification for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data using a global-local classification approach is presented. In the first step, to perform the global classification, the training feature space is divided into a specified number of clusters. In the next step to carry out the local classification over each of these clusters, which cont...
متن کاملA Non-Parametric Texture Descriptor for Polarimetric SAR Data with Applications to Supervised Classification
The paper describes a novel representation of polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data that is inherently non-parametric and therefore particularly suited for characterising data in which the commonly adopted hypothesis of Gaussian backscatter is not appropriate. The descriptor is also non-local and can capture image structure in terms of the arrangement of edge, ridgeand point-like features, to yield a ...

Classification of land cover types is one important application of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) remote sensing. There are numerous features that can be extracted from PolSAR images. Among them, eigenvalues λi, entropy H, alpha angle α, and anisotropy A are effective and popular tools for the analysis and quantitative estimation of the physical parameters. Nevertheless, the spe...
