Polarimetric SAR cross-calibration method based on stable distributed targets
Geo-spatial Information SciencePolarimetric calibration is essential for the pre-processing of Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data because it effectively mitigates polarimetric distortions in the measured PolSAR data.

Iterative Adaptive Based Multi-Polarimetric SAR Tomography of the Forested Areas
Remote SensingSynthetic aperture radar tomography (TomoSAR) is an extension of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. It introduces the synthetic aperture principle into the elevation direction to achieve three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the observed target.

A Non-Parametric Texture Descriptor for Polarimetric SAR Data with Applications to Supervised Classification [PDF]
, 2014 The paper describes a novel representation of polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data that is inherently non-parametric and therefore particularly suited for characterising data in which the commonly adopted hypothesis of Gaussian backscatter is not ...
