Abstract :
A new technique for sub-pixel identification in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is presented. First the subpixel combinations among we would like to distinguish are presented, and the theoretical basis of separation by using magnitude, polarization and phase of the return. The second part tests the separation ability by using SAR images of a sub-pixel shaped targets.
