Polarimetry in Wideband Interferometric Sensing and Imaging

摘要

“WISIP: Wideband (μHz-PHz) Interferometric Sensing andnImaging Polarimetry” has become an indispensable tool in wide areanenvironmental surveillance of the terrestrial and planetary covers. Itnallows dynamic optimal image feature extraction of significantncharacteristics of desirable target and/or target sections withnsimultaneous suppression of undesirable background clutter/speckle atnhitherto unknown clarity and of never achieved quality.n“WISIP” may be adopted to the detection, recognition, andnidentification (DRI) of any stationary, moving, or vibrating targetnversus arbitrary stationary, dynamically changing or moving geophysicalnenvironments. A comprehensive overview is presented on how these modernnhigh resolution/precision complete polarimetric coregistered signaturensensing and interferometric POL-SAR imaging techniques, complemented byn111 integration of novel navigational electronic tools, such as DGPS,nwill advance electromagnetic vector wave sensing and imaging towardsnlimits of physical realizability. Various examples utilizingnNASA-JPL/AIR-SAR, NAWC/P3-POL-SAR, DLR-OPH/DO-POL-SAR airborne, ERS-1,nJERS-1 satellite and SIR-C/X-SAR shuttle imaging data sets dealing withnthe recent Mississippi-Missouri/USA 1993 and Werra/FRG floods andnvarious earthquake surface deformation events will be presented forndemonstrating the utility of WISIP
