A tutorial on synthetic aperture radar
Alberto Moreira,Pau Prats-Iraola,Marwan Younis,Gerhard Krieger,Irena Hajnsek,Konstantinos Papathanassiou +5 more
TL;DR: This paper provides first a tutorial about the SAR principles and theory, followed by an overview of established techniques like polarimetry, interferometry and differential interferometric as well as of emerging techniques (e.g., polarimetric SARinterferometry, tomography and holographic tomography).
Journal ArticleDOI
Polarimetric SAR interferometry
TL;DR: The authors solve the coherence optimization problem involving maximization of interferometric coherence and formulate a new coherent decomposition for polarimetric SAR interferometry that allows the separation of the effective phase centers of different scattering mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-baseline polarimetric SAR interferometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of single-baseline polarimetric SAR interferometry to the remote sensing and measurement of structure over forested terrain is discussed and validated, based on this model, an inversion algorithm which allows the estimation of forest parameters such as tree height, average extinction, and underlying topography from singlebaseline fully-polarimetric interferometric data is addressed.
Proceedings Article
Polarimetric SAR interferometry
TL;DR: In this article, the role of polarimetry in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry is examined and a coherent decomposition for polarimetric SAR inter-ferometry that allows the separation of the effective phase centers of different scattering mechanisms is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-stage inversion process for polarimetric SAR interferometry
TL;DR: In this article, a geometrical approach for the inversion of a two-layer coherent scattering model, widely used for the interpretation of polarimetric interferometric SAR data, is presented.
