Abstract:

Polarimetric imaging radar which can acquire full polarization information becomes a mainstream in microwave remote sensing. Polarimetric response is strongly target orientation dependent. Although target scattering diversity effect makes polarimetric radar data modelling and interpretation difficult, proper exploration of target scattering diversity also provides valuable insights for physical parameters retrieval which may reveal intrinsic properties of different targets. In this vein, a novel polarimetric rotation domain interpretation framework has been developed. This presentation will introduce this framework including the uniform polarimetric matrix rotation theory, two-dimension polarimetric coherence/correlation pattern and three-dimension polarimetric correlation pattern interpretation tools. Application demonstrations including target detection and recognition will also be introduced.
