چکیده

In this paper, we review estimation algorithms and applications of polarization orientation angle shifts induced by terrain slopes. We develop a unified analysis of estimation algorithms based on the circular polarization covariance matrix. The effect of radar frequency, scattering media, and polarimetric calibration will also be discussed. Applications to DEM generation, polarimetric SAR data compensation and ocean surface feature characterization will be mentioned. SIR-C, and JPL AIRSAR L-band and P-band polarimetric SAR images are used for demonstration.

Pre-segmentation of high resolution images thanks to the morphological pyramid - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003. IGARSS '03. Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International

Very high spatial resolution images are now available (about 1m), and processes such as classification or segmentation are less efficient on this kind of images. This paper proposes a method for pre-processing images, which smoothes the heterogeneous areas but perserves the borders of main objects. This process is done by 1. a multi-resolution nonlinear decomposition with a morphological pyrami...

Fast direct and inverse EMI algorithms for enhanced identification of buried UXO with real EMI data - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003. IGARSS '03. Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International

Discrimination of buried unexploded ordinance (UXO) from innocuous buried items remains a challenging, top priority problem for the electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensing community. In general, classification is an inverse problem, requiring very fast and accurate representation of the target response. To address this critical issue, this paper presents a very fast, rigorous way to compute EMI...

Precipitation Measurements using the QuikSCAT Radiometer - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003. IGARSS '03. Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International

Microwave brightness temperatures are obtained from the SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite. These QuikSCAT Radiometer (QRad) measurements are used to infer instantaneous oceanic rain rates using a statistical retrieval algorithm that is based upon collocated TMI measurements. QRad instantaneous rain rate measurements have been binned in 0.5 hour local time windows onto a 0.5° x 0....

Scatterometer Resolution Enhancement - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium Proceedings, 1998. IGARSS '98. 1998 IEEE International

AbsrractScatterometers can be effective for large scale monitoring of the Earth’s surface. However, their low resolution can limit the utility of the data. Thus, there is interest in resolution enhancement methods that can create high resolution imagery from scatterometer measurements. In this paper, a brief review of an iterative image reconstruction is presented, and the implications of this ...
