Polarimetric Change Detection for Wetlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An exciting development in wetland mapping and monitoring is the use of SAR polarimetry which uses both magnitude and phase of the backscattered radar signal for information extraction.

DWD‐Net: A Feature Enhancement Network for Detecting Small‐Scale Ships in Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery

open access: yesIET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) ship detection remains challenging due to inherent speckle noise, complex sea clutter, variable target scales, and arbitrary ship poses. This paper develops a YOLOv11‐based multi‐scale feature enhancement network, namely DWD‐Net, by integrating deformable convolution v4, a stochastic multi‐scale pooling attention ...

Dynamic Multistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: Resolving Motion via Differential Semblance and k‐Space Diversity

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Moving targets often appear defocused and displaced in SAR imagery, complicating detection and recognition—especially when displaced into cluttered regions, where signal‐to‐background ratio is reduced. This work presents a multistatic SAR framework that extracts moving target signatures and reconstructs focused images, providing new insights into the ...

High‐Fidelity 3D Reconstruction From Sparse Multi‐Baseline CSAR Data via Conditional Diffusion Models

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This work proposes a conditional diffusion model framework for high‐fidelity 3D reconstruction from sparse multibaseline circular synthetic aperture radar (CSAR) data, addressing challenges of low vertical resolution, geometric blur and artefacts. The method integrates a dual‐path 3D U‐Net with cross‐attention to fuse coarse reconstruction features ...

Learning to Optimise FISTA‐PnP for Sparse Radar Imaging

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This work presents a plug‐and‐play (PnP) framework for sparse radar imaging that combines FISTA with reinforcement learning (RL)‐based parameter adaptation, achieving faster convergence and eliminating manual parameter tuning. Extensive experiments show the framework outperforms classical methods and recent optimisation networks, providing high‐quality

Polarimetric SAR Target Scattering Interpretation in Rotation Domain: Theory and Application

open access: yesLeida xuebao, 2017
Backscattering of radar targets is sensitive to the relative geometry between target orientations and the radar line of sight. This scattering diversity makes imaging radar represented by polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) information processing

Bi- and Multistatic SAR: Potentials and Challenges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Bi- and multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operates with distinct transmit and receive antennas which are mounted on separate platforms. Such a spatial separation has several operational advantages which will increase the capability, reliability ...

LuTan-1: First Demonstration of Hybrid-Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar—Assessing Application Potentials and Performance Constraints

open access: yesJournal of Remote Sensing
The hybrid-polarimetric (HP) mode is an emerging synthetic aperture radar polarimetric mode that offers a wider swath and improved range ambiguity performance compared to the quadrature-polarimetric (QP) mode, with a slight loss of polarimetric ...
