TEST OF EQUI-SCATTERING MECHANISMS FOR POLINSAR APPLICATIONS WITH TANDEM-X Armando Marino Juan M. Lopez-Sanchez Shane R. Cloude AEL Consultants Cupar Scotland University Institute of Computing Research (IUII) University of Alicante Spain
Motivations • TanDEM-X has a small bistatic angle • We are interested in knowing if this bistaic angle can change significantly the scattering mechanisms. Courtesy of DLR
Outlook • Development of an Equi-Scattering Mechanism (ESM) test for dual polarimetry (suitable for TanDEM-X) • Parameterization and Setting of threshold • Test on TanDEM-X data
Quad vs Dual polarimetry
Quad vs dualpolarimatry Dual pol Scattering vector Covariance matrix Example: lexicographic basis. Scattering vector Covariance matrix Reciprocity & monostatic Quad pol Example: lexicographic basis.
Partial target detector: dual-pol Based on a coherence Independent on the overall amplitude : target to detect : perturbed target Total Power Gainfactor Power of target
Change detector: Dual polarimetry
Threshold settings: dual polarimetry
What we want to do: Difference Detector We need to set RedR and T Definition of difference between the SM: Parameterisation in order to relate: Model Eigenvalues
Parameterisation(1) Change of basis Polar coordinates in the new basis SM Partial vector vs SCR
Parameterisation(2) We want to exploit a model to give a more direct interpretation Eigenvalues model with Final relationship
Final Relationship SCR RedR

Conclusions • A test for ESM was developed for dual polarimetric data • The test is independently of the overall amplitude • A parameterisation was developed in order to set the parameters • The algorithm was tested with TanDEM-X data • Future: To find a link between interferometric coherence and the test
