Abstract :
For original paper see Souyris et al., ibid., vol.43, no.3, p.634 (2005) and for comment see Weizu Xiong, ibid., vol.44, no.9, p.2617 (2006). In their paper Souyris et al. discussed the pi/4 mode of polarimetric SAR. In the comment Weizu Xiong felt that the calibration model used by Souyris et al. could be wrong and derived a calibration model using polar theory. Souyris responds to these remarks
