Foody, M.B. Synthetic Aperture Radar Polarimetry . Abstract—Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been widely used for Earth remote sensing for more than 30 years. Classification of high resolution polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) images plays an important role in land cover and land use management. December 2010 . Coherent change detection (CCD) in SAR can identify minute changes such as vehicle tracks that occur between images taken at different times. The research described in this publication was carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The basics of polarimetric theory are summarized and discussed in the context of SAR. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a remote sensing technology that can truly operate 24/7. It goes on to discuss more advanced polarimetric concepts that allow one to infer more information about the terrain being imaged. It’s an all -weather system that can operate at any time except in the most extreme conditions. G.M. Recently, classification algorithms based on Bag of Visual Words (BOVW) model have attracted significant interest among scholars and researchers in and out of the field of remote sensing. This study provides an update of the polarimetric tools currently being used for optimum information extraction from polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images.
