| Optimal Retrieval Algorithms for Polarimetric Images
Polarimetric imagery is now becoming increasingly available; and as with
other forms of SAR imagery, there are substantial gains to be made by
using optimised retrieval algorithms.
A) Test Data
1. We illustrate this first using simulated data. Figure 1
shows a test pattern containing seven classes representing ground
truth. We next simulate complex polarised images (HH, HV, VV)
using typical polarisation properties for agricultural land.
The aim of the study is to classify this simulated data into
the original seven classes using a variety of filter methods and
polarisation measures.
