This book synthesizes all current research to provide practical information for both the newcomer and the expert in radar polarimetry. The text offers a concise description of the mathematical fundamentals illustrated with many examples using SAR data, with a main focus on remote sensing of the Earth.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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Synthetic aperture radar. 650 0 $a Polarimetric remote sensing. 700 1 $a Kim, Yunjin. 830 0 $a JPL space science and technology series. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825041522.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDC2B95A6A8A11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
