TL;DR: A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with hybrid-polarity (CL-pol) architecture transmits circular polarization and receives two orthogonal, mutually coherent linear polarizations, which is one manifestation of compact polarimetry as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of target symmetric scattering using polarimetric SARs
Ridha Touzi,François Charbonneau +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Cameron's classification leads to a coarse scattering segmentation because of the large class dispersion that corresponds to a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system with about /spl plusmn/8-dB channel imbalance, which limits the utility of the SSCM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ship detection and characterization using polarimetric SAR
TL;DR: Polarimetric information for ship detection and characterization at operational satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) incidence angles (20°•60°) was investigated for SAR data in this paper, where the wave polarization anisotropy was used for optimal information extraction from polarimetric SAR data.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the use of permanent symmetric scatterers for ship characterization
TL;DR: The symmetric scattering characterization method (SSCM) is investigated for ship characterization using Convair-580 polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and it is shown that the SSCM is sensitive to the system focus setting and Doppler centroid shift.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water resource applications with RADARSAT-2 – a preview
TL;DR: An overview of the use of radar in general, and RADARSAT-2 in particular, for the generation of information products useful to water resource managers is provided.
