Abstract:
This letter proposes a data arrangement for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR). It is an essential novel method in the use of the rotation transformation in data interpretation. The key point of the proposal is employing a single pixel-based and selective rotation transformation for each pixel before the speckle filtering. The experimental results with ALOS2-PALSAR2 data show that the proposed data arrangement has much higher performance in recognizing double-bounce scattering in the man-made target area. At the same time, it is effective in avoiding the overestimation of double-bounce and/or surface scattering in natural target areas.
