Super-Resolution of Polarimetric SAR Images Based on Target Decomposition and Polarimetric Spatial Correlation

摘要

Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) is becoming more and more popular in remote sensing research area. Super-resolution processing of PolSAR image is usually desired for PolSAR image applications, such as image interpretation and target detection. Usually in a PolSAR image, each resolution contains several different scattering mechanisms. If these mechanisms can be allocated to different parts in one resolution cell, the details of the images can be enhanced, which means the resolution of the images is improved. In this paper, a new super-resolution algorithm for PolSAR image processing is proposed, in which target decomposition and polarimetric spatial correlation are both taken into consideration. Results of ESAR L-band full polarized images have validated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
