Abstract
In this paper, we propose a terrain categorization algorithm for single-polarization high-resolution SAR imagery, and coded the terrain categories by colors that resemble Pauli decomposition color coding based on scattering mechanisms of PolSAR data. The proposed algorithm emphasizes preserving high resolution and making information dissemination easier for single-pol SAR data.
