Overview

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Polarimetry is an advanced remote sensing technique that enhances the ability of SAR systems to detect and analyze Earth's surface features. By transmitting and receiving polarized microwave signals, SAR polarimetry captures the scattering characteristics of objects, providing detailed information about their geometric and dielectric properties. This technique involves the use of multiple polarization channels, typically horizontal and vertical, to measure the intensity and phase of reflected signals. The data obtained can be processed to generate polarimetric parameters and images, enabling the discrimination of different types of vegetation, soil, ice, and man-made structures. SAR polarimetry is widely used in environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, and disaster management due to its capability to penetrate clouds and operate day and night, offering comprehensive insights into the target's structure and composition. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of Synthetic Aperture Radar polarimetry which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
