Ship Detection Using X-Bragg Scattering Model Based on Compact Polarimetric SAR

EasyChair Preprint 707

Abstract

Compact polarimetric SAR is currently drawing more attention owing to its advantage to earth observations. In this paper, based on scattering vector in hybrid mode and X-Bragg scattering model, a new method is presented for evaluating ship detection performance. By using this method, three polarization features, including circular polarization ratio, relative phase and roundness, were analyzed selectively. Experiments performed using hybrid mode emulated from C-band RADARSAT-2 full polarimetric SAR data validate the feasibility of the method in analyzing the ship detection performance.
