Iceberg monitoring, as well as maritime surveillance in general, is an important application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Compact polarimetry offers the potential for improved detection performance compared to traditional linear dualpol SAR. The Radarsat Constellation, Canada's next Radarsat satellite, will collect compact polarimetric data in a variety of imaging modes. Using Radarsat-2 fine-quad...
In this paper, we introduce the first analysis of ship detection performance using simulated RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) data in the Ship Detection, Low and Medium Resolution modes. The ship detection performance is assessed for a number of linear and compact polarimetric (CP) dual-polarimetric (dual-pol) systems data simulated from RADARSAT-2 Fine quad mode in the three RCM modes. The impact...
The degree of polarization (DoP) has long been recognized as one of the most important parameters characterizing partially polarized electromagnetic waves. This parameter can be effectively used to describe the information content of polarimetric images collected by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. Estimation of DoP is standardly performed using four measurements. In SAR compact polarimetry...
