一种极化SAR协方差矩阵综合四分量分解模型

基于多视协方差矩阵发展了一种综合选择性去取向和广义体散射的极化SAR四分量分解模型。首先引入交叉极化相关系数进行螺旋体散射抑制和非反射对称地物去取向;然后采用一种随HH和VV功率比值自适应变化的广义体散射模型来替代原体散射模型;最后通过功率限制处理以完全消除分解负功率像素,该处理不仅能够保持地物主导散射类型不变,而且包含与Krogager分解三分量对应的非相干分解。通过机载L波段ESAR和AirSAR极化数据实验并与其他分解模型的比较,验证了该分解模型的有效性。     

引入规范化圆极化相关系数的保持极化散射特性的分类算法

极化SAR三分量分解中,和SAR视线不垂直的人工建筑物常被分为体散射类型,进而引起建筑物和森林的误分类。针对此不足,利用此类建筑物的反射非对称性,提出了一种引入规范化圆极化相关系数(NC-CC)的保持极化散射特性的分类算法。实验结果表明,本文提出的方法能够将与SAR视线不垂直的人工建筑物从体散射类型中分离出来。

基于相干矩阵完全分解的PolSAR图像分解

目前,基于散射模型的非相干分解主要存在两个问题:一是忽略交叉极化信息导致体散射功率过高;二是未遵循非负特征值分解。因此,本文提出了基于相干矩阵完全分解的PolSAR分解方法。一是在非反射对称下进行极化分解,考虑交叉极化相位信息,将相干矩阵中的9个参数全部用于散射功率计算。二是将非负特征值约束引用到体散射参数的计算上。实验结果表明,城区的偶次散射功率值明显提高,森林部分体散射功率得到抑制。     

基于最优极化相干系数的倾斜建筑物解译研究

基于Freeman_Durden分解的全极化SAR影像分类方法能够较好地保持地物极化散射特性,但在分类的过程中,不能改变初始散射机制,导致分解结果对分类精度影响很大。在Freeman_Durden分解中,排列方向相对雷达飞行方向不平行的建筑物（简称为倾斜建筑物）常被分为体散射类型,使得该类建筑物往往被误分为植被。本文通过分析建筑物在SAR影像中的后向散射特性,利用建筑物具有较高相干性的特点,引入最优极化相干系数,在目标分解的基础上通过阈值分割将两者区分开来,进而提高反射非对称性人工目标的分类效果。通过使用E-SAR系统在德国DLR附近Oberpfaffenhofen地区获取的L波段PolInSAR影像和国内X-SAR系统在海南陵水地区获取的X波段PolInSAR影像进行实验,证明本文提出的方法能够有效地将与雷达飞行方向不平行的建筑物与森林区分开。

基于非高斯分布的全极化SAR数据无监督分类

结合Freeman-Durden以散射模型为基础开发的分解算法和基于非高斯的K-Wishart分布,提出了一种无监督算法对全极化合成孔径雷达(fully polarimetric SAR,PolSAR)数据进行地物分类。该算法主要由3大步骤组成:首先通过Freeman-Durden算法把PolSAR数据划分成3种散射:表面散射、体散射和二面角散射,再使用形状参数χ将各种散射分为3类;然后通过每个像元的8个邻域计算先验概率,以改进分类距离和计算聚类中心;最后应用迭代K-Wishart分类器进行精确分类,并对每一类提出颜色填充方案。与复Wishart分布不同,K-wishart分布不但适合均匀区域数据描述,而且对不均匀区域数据的描述能力也很强。实验结果表明,该方法比FreemanDurden分解和复Wishart分布组合具有更好的分类性能。

基于四分量散射模型的多极化SAR图像分类

基于四分量散射模型提出了一种多极化SAR(synthetic aperture radar)图像非监督分类算法。与Freeman三分量散射模型不同,四分量散射模型在Freeman三分量的基础上增加了螺旋散射分量(helix),该分量反映了复杂地貌和不规则城市建筑的散射机理,可以用来处理复杂的场景图像。算法强调了初始分类的重要性,在初始分类中考虑了混合散射机制像素的存在,从而提高了分类结果的精确度。聚类过程中,采用由四个散射分量组成的特征向量进行迭代聚类。为了实现算法的完全非监督,利用特征向量给出了一种新的聚类终止准则。NASA/JPL实验室AIRSAR全极化数据分类实验结果表明,该算法具有较好的分类效果,并获得了较高的分类精度。

在分析四分量极化散射理论基础上,提出了一种新的极化SAR数据相干斑滤波算法。该算法首先应用四分量散射模型对原始极化SAR数据进行分解,以获得像素的散射类型和总功率值;然后采用极化特征和空间特征的相似性度量,在滤波窗口内选取中心像素的同质区;最后根据同质区的局部统计特性,应用线性最小均方滤波器进行滤波处理。AIRSAR系统L波段极化SAR数据的实验结果表明,该算法不仅可有效抑制相干斑,而且对极化和边缘等细节信息也有较好的保持。

介绍了原始极化SAR三分量分解中存在的问题,如负功率和散射机制模糊,并深入分析了其改进方法中仍然存在的缺陷,提出了一种自适应的三分量分解。该分解采用了更一般化的散射模型,并首次考虑了像素中存在不同旋转角的两个面或偶次散射目标,然后利用散射Alpha角确定除体散射之外的剩余主导散射机制,使面或偶次散射得到了更充分的保持。最后,从散射模型与极化相干矩阵自适应匹配的角度出发,提出了一种对负功率进行自适应优化的措施,使得负功率像素个数大大减少,从而分解更加准确有效。试验结果表明,该分解所得结果更符合实际地物散射过程,能更好地解决基于模型的分解方法中存在的缺陷。     

An improved building detection approach using L-band POLSAR two-dimensional time-frequency decomposition over oriented built-up areas

The objective of this study is to efficiently extract detailed information about various man-made targets in oriented built-up areas using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) images. This paper develops an improved approach for building detection by utilizing Two-Dimensional Time-Frequency (2-D TF) decomposition. This method performs outstandingly in distinguishing between man-made and natural targets based on the isotropic behaviors, frequency-sensitive responses, and scattering mechanisms of objects. The proposed method can preserve the spatial resolution and exploit the advantages of TF decomposition; specifically, the exact outlines of buildings can be effectively located, and more types of features (e.g., flat roofs, roads, and walls that are oblique to the radar illumination) can be distinguished from forests in complex built-up areas by 2-D TF decomposition. The coarser-resolution subaperture images that are produced in the azimuth direction, which correspond to different looking angles, are beneficial for detecting man-made structures with main scattering centers oriented at oblique angles with respect to the radar illumination. In the range direction, the obtained subaperture images, which correspond to various observation frequencies, can be helpful in distinguishing flat roofs and roads from forests. This method was successfully implemented to analyze both NASA/JPL L-band AIRSAR and L-band EMISAR data sets. The building detection results of the proposed method exhibit a significant improvement over those of other methods and reach an overall accuracy over 80%, with approximately 20% higher than the accuracies of K-means clustering and the entropy/alpha-Wishart classifier and approximately 10% higher than the accuracy of the support vector machine method. Moreover, building details can be precisely detected, obliquely oriented buildings can be identified, and the distinction between buildings and forests is significantly improved, as both visually and statistically indicated. This method is highly adaptable and has substantial application value.     

The inversion method study of sub-canopy soil moisture estimation using repeat pass SIR-C PolInSAR data

From repeat pass SIR-C L band polarimetric SAR interferometric data and fully maximum likelihood inversion decomposition model of PolInSAR, a method for sub-canopy soil moisture estimation using repeat pass SIR-C PolInSAR data is proposed. At the same time, the potential and validity of fully maximum likelihood inversion decomposition model of PolInSAR for sub-canopy soil moisture inversion is investigated. Firstly, from the random oriented volume over ground two layer coherent scattering model and the statistical characteristics of Pol-InSAR coherency matrix, the fully maximum likelihood inversion decomposition model is used to reconstruct or recover the surface polarimetric coherency matrix with volume scattering components significantly removed; then, from recovered surface polarimetric coherency matrix, co-HH, VV and cross-HV polarization backscattering coefficient are obtained, and the sub-canopy soil moisture are inverted from Oh and Dihedral scattering model. At last, Compared the inversion result with the field measurement and the climate data of hetan region from 1951 to 2006, the preliminary result indicates that the proposed method based on fully maximum likelihood inversion decomposition model has enough high inversion accuracy, if the new spaceborne or airborne polarimetric SAR interferometric data with synchronously spaceborne or airborne-ground measurement will be acquired, the validity and accuracy of proposed inversion method will be further investigated and validated.

Evaluation of modified four-component scattering power decomposition method over highly rugged glaciated terrain

In recent years, there has been increased utilization of fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) data to study glaciated terrain features for glaciological and climate change modelling. This article is concerned with more accurate results and appropriate analysis of POLSAR data over a highly rugged glaciated area in Himalayan region. For this purpose, the modified Yamaguchi four-component scattering power decomposition (4-CSPD) method with a rotation concept of 3 × 3 coherency matrix [T] about line of sight is evaluated. It has been found that the modified Yamaguchi 4-CSPD method significantly improved the decomposition results as compared with the original 4-CSPD by minimizing the cross-polarized Horizontal-Vertical (HV) components. This modified 4-CSPD leads to enhancement in the double bounce scattering and surface scattering components and also avoids the overestimation problem in the volume scattering component as compared with the original 4-CSPD from the sloped terrain. The significant reductions of the negative power occurrence in the surface scattering (3.9%) and the double bounce scattering (19.7%) components have also been noticed as compared with the original 4-CSPD method over the glaciated area in this part of the Indian Himalaya.     

Multiple-Component Scattering Model for Polarimetric SAR Image Decomposition

A multiple-component scattering model (MCSM) is proposed to decompose polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images. The MCSM extends a three-component scattering model, which describes single-bounce, double-bounce, volume, helix, and wire scattering as elementary scattering mechanisms in the analysis of PolSAR images. It can be found that double-bounce, helix, and wire scattering are predominant in urban areas. These elementary scattering mechanisms correspond to the asymmetric reflection condition that the copolar and cross-polar correlations are not close to zero. The MCSM is demonstrated with a German Aerospace Center (DLR) Experimental Synthetic Aperture Radar (ESAR) L-band full-polarized image of the Oberpfaffenhofen Test Site Area (DE), Germany, which was obtained on September 30, 2000. The result of this decomposition confirmed that the proposed model is effective for analysis of buildings in urban areas.
