Abstract :
This paper introduces statistical tools for the analysis of POL-inSAR data acquired over natural environments. Maximum likelihood procedures are provided to test particular structures of POL-inSAR data presentations an to estimate relevant parameters. These particular configurations concern the stationarity of the separate POLSAR information between, the equality of the optimal POL-inSAR projection vectors and the presence of reflection symmetry.
