Detection of the Coherent Scatterers using Sub-Aperture Polarimetric SAR data: the Preliminary Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this paper is to assess the sub-aperture analysis technique for the detection of coherent scatterers (CSs) using polarimetric SAR data. The non normalized coherence is used to greatly improve the contrast between the clutter and the target, since it can preserve the strong intensity information of the target. Furthermore, by applying a way similar to the polarimetric interferometry coherence optimization, the optimal coherence can be achieved by tuning the polarization states using the full polarimetric SAR data. Finally, utilizing the ALOS PALSAR data, the preliminary results and analyses of the detection of CSs are demonstrated.

In this paper, we present results from detection of coherent scatterers in nonurban areas, using polarimetric SAR data from the airborne EMISAR and the spaceborne ALOS PALSAR instrument. By applying a signal-toclutter ratio test for coherent point targets, we show that by using polarimetric information in the Pauli decomposition, we increase the number of detected targets by a factor of two com...

Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
