Written by two of the most recognized leaders in this field, \u003cstrong\u003ePolarimetric Radar Imaging: \u003cem\u003eFrom Basics to Applications\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003epresents polarimetric radar imaging and processing techniques and shows how to develop remote sensing applications using PolSAR imaging radar. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book provides a substantial and balanced introduction to the basic theory and advanced concepts of polarimetric scattering mechanisms, speckle statistics and speckle filtering, polarimetric information analysis and extraction techniques, and applications typical to radar polarimetric remote sensing. It explains the importance of wave polarization theory and the speckle phenomenon in the information retrieval problem of microwave imaging and inverse scattering. The authors demonstrate how to devise intelligent information extraction algorithms for remote sensing applications. They also describe more advanced polarimetric analysis techniques for polarimetric target decompositions, polarization orientation effects, polarimetric scattering modeling, speckle filtering, terrain and forest classification, manmade target analysis, and PolSAR interferometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith sample PolSAR data sets and software available for download, this self-contained, hands-on book encourages you to analyze space-borne and airborne PolSAR and polarimetric interferometric SAR (Pol-InSAR) data and then develop applications using this data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jong-Sen Lee,Eric Pottier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 142005497X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420054972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009 pg. 159","brand":"Jong-Sen Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136618803455,"sku":"9781420054972","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37834a05-783f-4e84-806f-1865eb3a62a1.jpg?v=1770163811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polarimetric-radar-imaging-jong-sen-lee-9781420054972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
