Theory of microwave remote sensing
TL;DR: In this article, a vector radiative transfer equation for nonspherical particles is developed for both active and passive remote sensing of earth terrains, and the effective propagation constants and backscattering coefficients are calculated and illustrated for dense media.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used theoretical modelling applied to calibrated SAR data to explain the radar backscatter from the forest canopy under study, which was found to be an optimal frequency band for forest observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
K-distribution and polarimetric terrain radar clutter
TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate K-distribution is proposed to model the statistics of fully polarimetric radar data from earth terrain with polarizations HH, HV, VH, and VV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Terrain Cover Using the Optimum Polarimetric Classifier
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic approach for the identification of terrain media such as vegetation canopy, forest, and snow-covered fields is developed using the optimum polarimetric classifier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of Earth terrain using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar images
TL;DR: It is shown that supervised classification yields the best overall performance when accurate classifierTraining data are used, whereas unsupervised classification is applicable when training data are not available.
