Design and Implementation of a Novel Polarimetric Active Radar Calibrator for Gaofen-3 SAR. [PDF]
The Chinese first fully polarimetric space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-Gaofen-3 (GF-3) was launched in August 2016, which operates at the C-band and the resolution can reach 1 m. Polarimetric SAR calibration is a procedure that corrects the polarization distortion of a measured scattering matrix by referring to the scattering matrix of a known

Multi-aspect SAR-GMTI and Experimental Research on Gaofen-3 SAR Modes
Multi-aspect SAR is a new SAR mode that has two advantages, i.e., long-term observations and a large synthetic-aperture azimuth angle. Previous studies have reported that these unique advantages enable even single-channel systems to have a relatively ...

A Benchmark High-Resolution GaoFen-3 SAR Dataset for Building Semantic Segmentation [PDF]
Deep learning is increasingly popular in remote sensing communities and already successful in land cover classification and semantic segmentation. However, most studies are limited to the utilization of optical datasets. Despite few attempts applied to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) using deep learning, the huge potential, especially for the very high ...

Polarimetric Calibration Scheme Combining Internal and External Calibrations, and Experiment for Gaofen-3 [PDF]
The parameters for polarization distortion of spaceborne polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) have range-dependence (or look-angle-dependence), which requires a polarimetric calibration to be performed at any look-angle. It is a huge endeavor to rely solely on ground experiments to obtain a polarimetric calibration at all look-angles.
