A Relaxed Wishart Model for Polarimetric Sar Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we demonstrate that simple yet flexible modelling of multilook polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data can be obtained through a relaxation of the Wishart model. The degrees of freedom of the complex Wishart distribution is treated as a spatially nonstationary parameter, which is allowed to vary between thematic classes and segments of the PolSAR scene.

متن کاملEvaluation of the Wishart Test Statistics for Polarimetric SAR Data
A test statistic for equality of two covariance matrices following the complex Wishart distribution has previously been used in new algorithms for change detection, edge detection and segmentation in polarimetric SAR images. Previously, the results for change detection and edge detection have been quantitatively evaluated. This paper deals with the evaluation of segmentation. A segmentation per...
متن کاملChange Detection in Polarimetric SAR Data and the Complex Wishart Distribution
When working with multi-look fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data an appropriate way of representing the backscattered signal consists of the so-called covariance matrix. For each pixel this is a 3 3 Hermitian, positive definite matrix which follows a complex Wishart distribution. Based on this distribution a test statistic for equality of two such matrices and an associated a...

We investigated the speckle filtering effect in supervised classification of the C-band polarimetric Ground Based SAR image data. Wishart classification method was used for the supervised classification of the polarimetric GB-SAR image data and total of 6 kinds of speckle filters were applied before supervised classification, which are boxcar, Gaussian, Lopez, IDAN, the refined Lee, and the ref...

National Research Foundation. Abstract A newly developed test statistic for equality of two complex covariance matrices following the complex Wishart distribution and an associated asymptotic probability for the test statistic has been used in a segmentation algorithm. The segmentation algorithm is based on the MUM (Merge Using Moments) approach, which is a merging algorithm for single channel ...
