Analysis of polarimetric SAR signatures of vegetated areasSeveral techniques to quantitatively analyze the information in the polarimetric signature are discussed, including: (1) a shape (texture) parameter; (2) fractional polarization; (3) the phase difference signature; and (4) the correlation coefficient. These techniques are applied to airborne synthetic aperture radar imagery collected over several different vegetation communities, including a mangrove swamp, a mixed-age loblolly pine forest, and a flooded bald cypress forest.
