  13. Cloude-Pottier Decomposition • Eigenvalue/eigenvector calculation of the coherency matrix of fully polarimetric SAR data. • Covering the whole range of scattering mechanisms • Automatically basis invariant. Coherency matrix: Hermitian, semi-definite positive matrix → diagonalization

  14. Cloude-Pottier Decomposition Probability of each 3 scattering mechanism Entropy H: the global distribution of scattering mechanism  angle: the type of scattering mechanism Anisotropy A : the two least important scattering mechanism effects

  16. 1.0 0 b Entropy Alpha Anisotropy 90° 0 The refined Lee filter and the NLPolSAR filters have similar performance. The IDAN filter usually introduces bias in entropy and anisotropy values, which may result to unreliable classification results. 1.0 0 Refined Lee IDAN NL-PolSAR San Francisco by JPL L–Band AIRSAR

  17. The Wishart H  Classification Building Forest Water H/ initialization: 8 classes

  18. The Wishart H /  Classification Wishart clustering • Supervised algorithm • Based on the complex Wishart distribution of coherency matrix • Use maximum likelihood criterion Distance measure V : the cluster center coherency matrix : the trace of a matrix Maximum likelihood criterion

  20. Decomposition and classification Refined LEE The results of AIRSAR, ALOS/PALSAR and RadarSat-2 data show that the classification results with different sensors are quite similar, except the water area in the AIRSAR data, which is due to the big variation of the incidence angle of the airborne sensor.

  21. The NL-PolSAR filter has better performance than the refined Lee filter, for example, the golf course areas and the lakes in the AIRSAR classification results.

  23. Conclusion • Comparison of 3 speckle filters: Refined Lee’s filter, IDAN filter and the NL-PolSAR filter • Comparison of the influence on decomposition and classification Cloude-Pottier decomposition & Wishart H/a classification • Obtained results with different sensors: Radarsat-2, ALOS/PALSAR and AIRSAR • The NL-PolSAR filter achieves the best performance in our experimental tests
