  • Abstract
    A new crashed airplane detection algorithm based on feature fusion is proposed in this paper. Considering the dihedral characteristic of the airplane´s tail and the strong scattering intensity of airplane´s body, airplane target detection feature is constructed by combining the above two polarimetric properties. Then Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) is used for target detection. Experimental results with real polarimetric data from NASA/JPL UAVASR system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
