Radar Polarimetry and Polarimetric SAR Interferometry represent the current culmination in ‘Microwave Remote Sensing’ technology based on the Antennas, Propagation, Radar and Systems. The purpose and procedure of polarimetry and polarimetric interferometry are shown in Fig. 1. With polarimetric radar sensing, it is possible to carry out 1) detection of targets, 2) decomposition of scattering me...

A method for specckle removal in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images based on wavelets filters is presented. Our method is applied to SAR signals prevously to proceed to the imaging of the data. The spatial resolution and image details are strongly enhanced, without ’blurring’ effects.

In this paper, we present the calibration results of the NASA/JPL Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) for the Pacific Rim II mission. We also demonstrate the key elements of the calibration techniques for both polarimetric SAR (POLSAR) and cross-track interferometric SAR (TOPSAR) processed with the AIRSAR Integrated Processor.

Multi spectral image classification method with selection processes of independent spectral features through correlation analysis is proposed. The proposed method is validated by applying to the polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar: SAR data. Also Probability Distribution Function: PDF for of features are checked and confirmed the most independent PDF allows greatest classification performance...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) currently has problems in the processing that lead to smearing of the image. We have developed a new method of processing the data using maximum likelihood theory that will remove the smearing leading to superior images. The goal of this project was to write a MATLAB program to simulate a SAR system to test the new processing method.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) generates a range and cross-range image when radar is moving. Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) is a variation of the SAR that generates a range-Doppler image of targets by coherently processing radar returns at different target aspect angle due to relative motions between the radar and the target [1]. The distribution of radar reflectivity over a target can...

Humanitarian demining by scientific methods is a very important technical issues and ground penetrating radar (GPR) can be one of the best solutions for this difficult task. However, strong clutter makes difficult for detecting buried landmines in real situations. We have developed a synthetic aperture based GPR and tested its capabilities by experiments. We found that synthetic aperture radar ...

The performance and capabilities of a bistatic spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are analyzed, where the transmitter and receiver are in different orbits. Such a configuration may be optimized for a broad range of applications like frequent monitoring, wide swath imaging, single-pass crosstrack interferometry, along-track interferometry, resolution enhancement or radar tomography.

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.
