Modeling Polarimetric Sar Response of Urban Dihedrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave polarimetric models for rough dielectric dihedral corner reflectors provide helpful tools to understand the complex interaction of radar with urban land cover. After a theoretical background, we present results from a numerical analysis which takes into account the dielectric properties and roughness of the reflecting surfaces and evaluates the contributions of both coherent and diffuse scattering.

Change Detection in Urban Area Using Decision Level Fusion of Change Maps Extracted from Optic and SAR Images
The last few decades witnessed high urban growth rates in many countries. Urban growth can be mapped and measured by using remote sensing data and techniques along with several statistical measures. The purpose of this research is to detect the urban change that is used for urban planning. Change detection using remote sensing images can be classified into three methods: algebra-based, transfor...
متن کاملLand Cover Classification for Polarimetric SAR Images Based on Mixture Models
In this paper, two mixture models are proposed for modeling heterogeneous regions in single-look and multi-look polarimetric SAR images, along with their corresponding maximum likelihood classifiers for land cover classification. The classical Gaussian and Wishart models are suitable for modeling scattering vectors and covariance matrices from homogeneous regions, while their performance deteri...

The objective of this research is to evaluate multi-temporal RADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR data for urban land-cover classification using a novel classification scheme. Six-date RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric SAR data in both ascending and descending orbits were acquired during June to September 2008 in the rural-urban fringe of the Greater Toronto Area. The major land-cover types are builtup areas, roa...
متن کاملInvited session: Advanced Methods for polarimetric information extraction URBAN FEATURE CHARACTERIZATION USING POLARIMETRIC AND POL-IN SAR DATA
Interest in urban feature characterization has increased with the potential of polarimetric satellite SAR data from ALOS (already in orbit), Radarsat-2, TerraSAR, and Cosmo-SkyMed. The Touzi-Decomposition [1] has been introduced for both coherent and incoherent decomposition of target scattering using polarimetric SAR data. In contrast to the existing scattering decompositions [2, 3], the Touzi...
متن کاملAnalysis of Scattering Components from Fully Polarimetric Sar Images for Improving Accuracies of Urban Density Estimation
In this paper, we analyze probability density functions (PDFs) of scatterings derived from fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images for improving the accuracies of estimated urban density. We have reported a method for estimating urban density that uses an index Tv+c obtained by normalizing the sum of volume and helix scatterings Pv+c. Validation results showed that estimated ur...
