Analysis of Asar Polarisation Signatures from Urban Areas (ao-434)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project focuses on ASAR backscatter change from urban categories as a function of polarisation and incidence angle. Results show more bright scattering points from manmade objects in like-pol than in cross-pol. ASAR AP data acquired with several incidence angles may be used with success to obtain more knowledge about structural properties of certain man-made objects.

Polarisation-dependent Signatures of Ships in Envisat Ap Mode Data
The ENVISAT ASAR (Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) AP (Alternating Polarisation) mode provides a new opportunity for spaceborne monitoring of vessel traffic and fishing activities. A series of data has been collected and analysed over Canadian and Norwegian waters, as well as other locations of opportunity. Three vessels were imaged during a Canadian trial and an oil production vessel in the ...

Capabilities and methods for snow mapping in mountainous areas using the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) on board of ENVISAT were investigated. For algorithm development the backscattering signatures of snow covered and snow free surfaces in Alpine valleys and on mountain slopes were studied with ASAR data of different look angles and polarizations in comparison with field measurements...

متن کاملApplication of Envisat Asar Data for Alpine Land Use Classification
The advantage of ENVISAT ASAR over its predecessors, namely ERS-1 and ERS-2, as a land observation tool resides in its multiple polarization and multi-look angle capabilities. As a radar sensor the ASAR backscattering coefficient is sensitive to the moisture content of the scattering media and its geometrical properties (i.e. size, shape, roughness, and orientation). From the quantitative analy...
