INCORPORATION OF POLARIMETRIC RADAR IMAGES INTO MULTISENSOR DATA SETS

This paper describes a technique for registering polarimetric SAR data to other … aircraft and spacebore data sets. Resampling is done on the full Stokes matrix, allowing full polarization synthesis on the coregistered data set. Analysis of data acquired over Pisgah Crater in the Mojave Desert, CA, as part of the Mojave Field Experiment show that the resampling does not seriously affect the pedestal heights of polarization signatures or impact estimates of rms heights for smooth to moderately rough surfaces. © 1990 IEEE
