Abstract:

Polarimetric SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is an all-day and all-weather active remote sensing radar    and  it  can  obtain  more  detailed  information  and  characteristics  of  the  target  by  transmitting    electromagnetic waves with different polarization modes. Therefore, polarimetric SAR attracts more    attention  and  has  been  widely  used  in  the  fields  of  environmental  monitoring  and  ground  object    classification.  Polarimetric  Target  Decomposition  is  a  representative  method  and  it  expresses  the    average mechanism as the sum of independent elements in order to associate a physical mechanism    with each resolution cell, which allows the identification and separation of scattering mechanisms in    polarization  signature  for  purposes  of  classification  and  recognition.  In  this  report,  the  analysis,    representation and application of typical polarimetric scattering mechanisms in PolSAR are introduced， as well as the principles of some polarimetric decomposition methods are compared.
