Abstract :
The complexity of polarization orientation angle induced by scatterings from buildings and distributed media will be investigated. We will look into 1) the estimation algorithm, 2) The double bounce scattering from building walls not aligned in the along-track direction and 3) the orientation angle associated with very high-resolution PolSAR images with decimeter resolution.
