Linear Signatures in Urban SAR Images - Partly Misinterpreted?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corner lines, line signatures related to building facades in SAR images, are commonly related to signal double reflections, either specular or diffuse. However, the scene properties building orientation, building shape, surface roughness often do not correspond to this expectation. This paper presents a 3D representative simulation case study, based on ray tracing and a detailed facade model, in order to analyze the origin of corner lines at facades. The simulation results indicate that the intensity of corner lines may be dominated by signal triple reflections of different type.

Change Detection in Urban Area Using Decision Level Fusion of Change Maps Extracted from Optic and SAR Images
The last few decades witnessed high urban growth rates in many countries. Urban growth can be mapped and measured by using remote sensing data and techniques along with several statistical measures. The purpose of this research is to detect the urban change that is used for urban planning. Change detection using remote sensing images can be classified into three methods: algebra-based, transfor...
متن کاملModulation of Tidal Channel Signatures on SAR Images Over Gyeonggi Bay in Relation to Environmental Factors
In this study, variations of radar backscatter features of the tidal channel in Gyeonggi Bay in the Eastern Yellow Sea were investigated using spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Consistent quasi-linear bright features appeared on the SAR images. Examining the detailed local bathymetry chart, we found that the features were co-located with the major axis of the tidal channel in th...
متن کاملMultitemporal Radarsat-2 Polarimetric Sar Data for Urban Land-cover Mapping
The objective of this research is to evaluate multi-temporal RADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR data for urban land-cover classification using a novel classification scheme. Six-date RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric SAR data in both ascending and descending orbits were acquired during June to September 2008 in the rural-urban fringe of the Greater Toronto Area. The major land-cover types are builtup areas, roa...
متن کاملScattering-BasedModel of the SAR Signatures of Complex Targets for Classification Applications
The modeling of complex target response in SAR imagery is the main subject of this paper. The analysis of a large database of SAR images with polarimetric and interferometric capabilities is used to accurately establish how the different structural parts of targets interact with the incident signal. This allows to relate the reflectivity information provided by SAR images with specific geometri...
متن کاملRelevant Scatterers Characterization in Sar Images
Recognizing scenes in a single look meter resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, requires the capability to identify relevant signal signatures in condition of variable image acquisition geometry, arbitrary objects poses and configurations. Among the methods to detect relevant scatterers in SAR images, we can mention the internal coherence. The SAR spectrum splitted in azimuth genera...
