Abstract:

Polarimetric SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is an all-day and all-weather active remote sensing radar and it can obtain more detailed information and characteristics of the target by transmitting electromagnetic waves with different polarization modes. Therefore, polarimetric SAR attracts more attention and has been widely used in the fields of environmental monitoring and ground object classification. Polarimetric Target Decomposition is a representative method and it expresses the average mechanism as the sum of independent elements in order to associate a physical mechanism with each resolution cell, which allows the identification and separation of scattering mechanisms in polarization signature for purposes of classification and recognition. In this report, the analysis, representation and application of typical polarimetric scattering mechanisms in PolSAR are introduced， as well as the principles of some polarimetric decomposition methods are compared.
