Abstract :
Investigates wake signature in polarimetric imagery using the Radon transform. This paper describes two methods for the wake-shape detection: the first method reduces the dimension of the polarimetric data to a single channel image and the second method conserves the polarimetric information until the peak detection process. Results obtained from polarimetric C-band image data are presented
