Synthetic Aperture Radar Polarimetry This price is valid for
United States. Change location to view local pricing and
availability. Other Available Formats: Hardcover The book begins
with basics of synthetic aperture radar to provide the basis for
understanding how polarimetric SAR images are formed and gives
an introduction to the fundamentals of radar polarimetry. It
goes on to discuss more advanced polarimetric concepts that
allow one to infer more information about the terrain being
imaged. In order to analyze data quantitatively, the signals
must be calibrated carefully, which the book addresses in a
chapter summarizing the basic calibration algorithms. The book
concludes with examples of applying polarimetric analysis to
scattering from rough surfaces, to infer soil moisture from
radar signals.
