책소개

This book describes the application of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar to earth remote sensing based on research at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). This book synthesizes all current research to provide practical informationfor both the newcomer and the expert in radar polarimetry.The textoffers aconcise description of the mathematical fundamentals illustrated with many examples using SAR data, with a main focus onremote sensing of the earth.The book begins withbasics of synthetic aperture radar to provide the basis for understanding how polarimetric SAR images are formed and gives an introductionto 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 ina 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.
