porarimetori SAR image processing manner, transmitting the transmission wave of the porarimetori SAR

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polarimetric SAR image processing method capable of generating one SAR image clearly capturing a whole target even if the target has a complicated shape. PSOLUTION: Vertically polarized and horizontally polarized transmitted waves from a transmitter 1 are transmitted from antennas 5 and 6 to a target and received by receivers 7 and 8 to generate SAR images. Reproduction processing parts 13-16 generate a fully-polarimetric complex image on the bases of the SAR images. A plane of polarization of the generated fully-polarimetric complex image is rotated by a predetermined angle of rotation at a polarization rotation processing part 18 to generate a plurality of polarization-rotated images. On each pixel in the plurality of generated polarization-rotated images, an image generation processing part 20 extracts pixels as representative pixels corresponding to specified representative values from among the same pixel positions to generate a reproduction as one SAR image made of the representative pixels. The polarimetric SAR image processing method is provided with a setting input part 19 for setting and inputting the representative values capable of outputting one real value with a set of a luminance value of each pixel at the same pixel position of the plurality of polarization-rotated images as input.
