Polarimetric radar signature of masonry walls

A ground-penetrating radar with polarimetric capability has been used for investigating masonry walls. The obtained results show that hollow spaces inside masonry give a well-detectable polarimetric signature that can be usefully used for detecting internal cavities in walls, and for characterizing the masonry. r 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Target Detection Studies Using Fully Polarimetric Data Collected by the Lincoln Laboratory MMW SAR

Under DARPA sponsorship, MIT Lincoln Laboratory is investigating the detection and identification of stationary ground targets in high resolution, fully polarimetric, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. This paper compares two techniques for improving target detection performance by optimally processing the fully polarimetric SAR data.

Optimal Processing of Polarimetric Synthetic-Aperture Radar Imagery

The Advanced Detection Technology Sensor can detect, discriminate, and classify stationary ground targets—during the day or night—even through cloud cover, fog, smoke, dust, or rain. The sensor is a coherent, fully polarimetric, 35-GHz syntheticaperture radar (SAR) with a resolution of 1 ft × 1 ft. And, to minimize SAR speckle while preserving image resolution, it uses the polarimetric whitenin...

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 rada...
