Polarimetric Characteristics of Fully Polarization Sar Image Observed by Ground-based Sar System

Ground-Based SAR system that obtains a high resolution 2D image on the ground is a new type of SAR system such as air-borne and space-borne SAR. The measured fully polarimetric SAR images with HH, HV, VH, and VV were focused using the Deramp-FFT (DF) algorithm in terms of their image formation principles. SAR polarimetry technique is concerned with control of the polarimetric properties of radar waves and the extraction of target properties from the behaviour of scattered waves from a target. In this study, we processed the polarimetric SAR data obtained by the GB-SAR system to investigate the polarimetric characteristics of terrain targets such as trees, grass and several permanent scatterers located in the test site. The polarimetric classification images using H/A/Alpha polarimetric decomposition and Wishart algorithms were extracted and discussed for deriving a scattering property according to different target types.
