Abstract :
In this paper we study the effect of nonlinear apodization techniques on polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image decomposition. We show that sidelobe suppression in PolSAR images helps in better information extraction through target decomposition techniques, and hence results in better target identification.
