Background • Water and wetlands of growing importance • Radar the water seeker • CWI being developed • SAR & Optical plus the best DEM available are inputs
Overview • Frequency dependence & polarization/polarimetry first evaluated using AIRSAR and SIR-C • L-band for woody wetlands, C-band for more herbaceous vegetation • HH preferred polarization for penetration & double bounce scattering • Polarizations have variable responses (HH,HV,VV)
SIR-C Red River Manitoba • April 11, 2004 • April 12, 2004 • April 16, 2004
CV-580 Campaign 2004 • Mer Blue – CCRS • Minnedosa Pothole region – Noetix and DUC • Abitibi & Timmins wetlands - GlobeVision
Polarimetry • Mostly decomposition techniques for scattering mechanism classifications • Touzi decomposition promising • GlobVision and Noetix EOADP • Little evaluation of polarization versus polarimetry
RADARSAT-1/Landsat Wetland Classification Landsat-TM Landsat&Radarsat1 J. Li and W. Chen, IJRS, Vol.26, 2005
RADARSAT2 Better classification than RADARSAT1-Landsat Landsat&Radarsat1 Classification (J. Li and W. Chen, IJRS, Vol.26, 2005) Touzi-s Wetland classification Obog 1 (carex), Obog 2(vaccinium)
GlobVision Data Fusion & Classification • Multi-channel data sets • Synergism with VIR &/or other frequencies • Classification accuracy for evaluation
18 channel data set Linear – HH, HV, VV Circular – LL, LR, RR Total power – TP Conjugate syntheses – HH-HV*, HH-VV*, HV-VV* Averaged phase – φHH-VV, φ LL-LR, φ LL-RR, φ LR-RR Block averaged phase - ФHH-VV, Ф LL-LR, Ф LL-RR, Ф LR-RR
NoetixSeparabilityAnalysis 243 possible combinations of separability using East, West and combinations of both • •Single Polarization • •Ratio • •Combination • •Cloude Decomposition • •Freeman-Durden Decomposition • •Pauli Decomposition
NoetixSeparabilityAnalysis Separating Shallow Marsh (veg wo/ Water) from Deep Marsh (veg w/ Water) TD value minimum 1.6
NoetixLinear Polarizations (HH, VV) (VV, HV) (HH, HV) HH – HV space seems the best combination of polarizations
NoetixHH and Linear Polarization Ratios (HH, HH/HV) (HH, HH/VV) (HH, VV/HV) The HH/HV improves the separability between two classes; Combination of HH and HH/HV is the best
NoetixCircular Polarizations (RR, RL) (LL, RR) (LL, RL) The two classes are close together in the circular polarization space
NoetixCircular Polarizations LL/RL holds certain separability
NoetixCloude Decomposition H-a Space
NoetixCloude Decomposition R=H G=Alpha B=A alpha H
NoetixCloude Decomposition From scatter-plot to classification Blue = low-medium entropy multiple scattering; double or even bounce Red = low entropy surface scattering Green= Medium entropy surface scattering Yellow=multiple scattering
NoetixFreeman-Durden Decomposition R= double bounce scattering G= volume (vegetation) scattering B= surface scattering
NoetixPauli Decomposition R= |HH+VV| (=Spherical scattering) G= |HH-VV| (= Double bounce scattering) B= |HV+VH| (= Other scattering)
Next Steps • Complete compact polarimetry evaluation with GobeVision and Noetix data sets • Acquire additional R2, Terra-SAR and PALSAR data sets of Mer Blue for further evaluation
