摘要
This article analyses the anisotropy of polarimetric scattering changing with azimuth incidence angle using a multi-look processed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image. First, three canonical scattering models were developed to simulate the migration tracks on the Cameron polarimetric space. The migration tracks indicate that these polarimetric parameters have anisotropic property. Second, unmanned aerial vehicle synthetic aperture radar (UAVSAR) data are used to validate the simulated results. The Cameron scattering-type parameter z and the orientation angle calculated by SAR data are consistent with the simulated results by small perturbation method (SPM) double-scattering. Finally, based on the anisotropic analysis, a new method of extracting polarimetric information is proposed. Using this method, six parameters were obtained and two additional parameters, Purity and Stability, were derived. These parameters contain specific physical meaning and are useful in the recognition of the scattering mechanism. Purity can be used to recognize the simple structure scatterers with zero orientation. Stability has the potential to describe the dynamic property of scatterers.
