A four-component scattering model is proposed to decompose polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The covariance matrix approach used deal with the nonreflection symmetric case. This scheme includes and extends three-component decomposition method introduced by Freeman Durden dealing reflection symmetry condition that co-pol cross-pol correlations are close zero. Helix power added as fourth component which describes surface, double bounce, volume scattering. helix term take...

In this paper, a general scheme for complete model-based decomposition of the polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) coherency matrix data is presented. We show that POLSAR can be completely decomposed into three components contributed by volume scattering and two single scatterers (characterized rank-1 matrices). Under scheme, solving power amounts to generalized eigendecomposition problem, nonnegative constraint uniquely determines minimum eigenvalue as power. Furthermore, in order...

In this letter, a censoring scheme that iteratively updates the outlier/target maps for target detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed. For each iteration, any pixels are indicated by outlier map as outliers rejected (censored out) from clutter estimation. The resulting detected then used new next iteration. This procedure continued until there no change to map, which output final result. proposed generically applicable both single-channel and multichannel SAR images....
The intent of this paper is to explore the application information obtained from fully polarimetric data for land cover classiflcation.
