Book Description
The overall objective of our polarimetric research is to conduct a unified and cohesive investigation to answer the question: How can polarization properties of targets/background speckle be utilized either by themselves or in concert with other electromagnetic probing methods such as doppler, multispectral, pulse compression, etc., to best provide a basis for radar target classification, imaging, and identification? Scattering objects of interest include airborne/ground/marine targets of a large variety of sizes, shapes, and material decomposition and embedded in varied stationary/moving/fluctuating background scatter, which, we are confident, can most effectively be characterized via polarimetric radar/scatterometer methods including both coherent and partially coherent wave treatments. It is specific objective of this task to approach and to investigate the polarimetric radar clutter problem using a unique approach of a strongly interdigitalizing analytical, modeling, computer-numerical/graphical, and measurement interpretive nature. A basic theory for a model-independent clutter description which can be applied to any specific type of clutter without a priori knowledge of the clutter model, i.e., a model-independent clutter description, in theory, is introduced.

Polarimetric Radar Imaging
Author: Jong-Sen Lee
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1420054988
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
The recent launches of three fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) satellites have shown that polarimetric radar imaging can provide abundant data on the Earth’s environment, such as biomass and forest height estimation, snow cover mapping, glacier monitoring, and damage assessment. Written by two of the most recognized leaders in this field, Polarimetric Radar Imaging: From Basics to Applications presents polarimetric radar imaging and processing techniques and shows how to develop remote sensing applications using PolSAR imaging radar. The book provides a substantial and balanced introduction to the basic theory and advanced concepts of polarimetric scattering mechanisms, speckle statistics and speckle filtering, polarimetric information analysis and extraction techniques, and applications typical to radar polarimetric remote sensing. It explains the importance of wave polarization theory and the speckle phenomenon in the information retrieval problem of microwave imaging and inverse scattering. The authors demonstrate how to devise intelligent information extraction algorithms for remote sensing applications. They also describe more advanced polarimetric analysis techniques for polarimetric target decompositions, polarization orientation effects, polarimetric scattering modeling, speckle filtering, terrain and forest classification, manmade target analysis, and PolSAR interferometry. With sample PolSAR data sets and software available for download, this self-contained, hands-on book encourages you to analyze space-borne and airborne PolSAR and polarimetric interferometric SAR (Pol-InSAR) data and then develop applications using this data.

Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
During the tenure of this initiation contract on Polarization Utilization in Radar Target Identification a center of excellence for research in high resolution radar polarimetry was established within the Electromagnetic Imaging Division (EMID), Communications Laboratory (CL), Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) with the express purpose of advancing theoretical, computational and experimental methods for radar target detection in clutter; separation of useful target vector signal from noise and clutter; classification of targets and/or clutter; target and/or clutter imaging, as well as target identification. To assist us in this endeavor, the College of Engineering, UIC, initially made available 2,200 sq. ft. laboratory space which now has expanded to 9,000 sq. ft. within SEL-4209/4210/4211 with adjacent side rooms, housing the CL-office, work and laboratory space for 18 research assistants and a DEC-VAX 11/750 and 780 Research Computer Processing System with some peripheral image processing, printing, color-graphics processors which were made available with partial funding from DoD-research offices and need to be further expanded.

Basic Concepts of Radar Polarimetry and Its Applications to Target Discrimination, Classification, Imaging and Identification
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
In meticulous detail, a succinct summary of basic electromagnetic wave polarization descriptors, of the various scatterer polarization transformation matrices, and its invariants of the associated optimal matrix polarizations, and of the scatterer descriptive operators is introduced. It is then shown how the five (5) independent matrix parameter for the relative phase mono-static scattering matrix describing an isolated, yet regionally distributed, target in a reciprocal propagation medium can be recovered from (1) amplitude-only, (2) mixed amplitude plus partial phase, (3) complete two-step amplitude-phase measurements. Basic properties of the radar scattering matrix for linear (H, V) and circular (R, L) polarization basis are described in terms of geometrical target features as functions of the specular point surface coordinate parameters, known as gaussian principal, main and related curvature functions. Based upon this succinct background introduction on radar polarimetry, the concepts are applied mainly for the coherent case to various classes of increasing order of sophistication, as defined in detail in the INTRODUCTION, to the problem of radar target handling for the non-cooperative, limited-data case.
