Abstract

The launch of RISAT-1 Indian remote sensing satellite on 26^th April 2012, made it possible to collect hybrid polarimetric data from a space-borne sensor. The RISAT-1 C-band compact polarimetry data acquired over Mumbai is analyzed and assessed for classification of various land features and also compared with other fully polarimetric spaceborene SAR data sets. For better comparison, RISAT-1 C-band and RADARSAT-2 C-band simulated compact polarimetric data is classified and compared.
