  • When a SAR system operates in a full-polarimetic mode, the amount of the information one can extract is so complex that the effective presentation of the information is important. However, the information acquired from the polarimetric SAR data is often difficult to interpret by itself, because it is consisted of both the amplitude information and the phase information. Polarimetric parameters are the good way of representing the polarimetric SAR information in a quantitative manner. Also they can characterize the scattering behavior of the ground scatterer. In this research, extraction of polarimetric parameters, evaluation and interpretation of the scattering behavior of the ground with respect to polarimetric SAR signal are carried out. Using the NASA/JPL AIRSAR data, we estimated the polarimetric parameters and compared them in terms of the ground features. In general, extracted parameters well represent the characteristics of the different features on the ground.

  • The main objective of this study is to analyse the polarimetric characteristics of the various terrain targets by ground-based polarimetric SAR system and to confirm the compatible and effective polarimetric analysis method to reveal the polarization properties of different terrain targets by the GB-SAR. The fully polarimetric GB-SAR data with HH, HV, VH, and VV components were focused using the Deramp-FFT (DF) algorithm. The focused GB-SAR images were processed by the H/A/$\alpha$ polarimetric decomposition and the combined H/$\alpha$ or H/A/$\alpha$ and Wishart classification method. The segmented image and distribution graphs in H/$\alpha$ plane using Cloude and Pottier's method showed a reliable result that this quad-polarization GB-SAR data could be useful to classified corresponding scattering mechanism. The H/$\alpha$-Wishart and H/A/$\alpha$-Wishart classification results showed that a natural media and an artificial target were discriminated by the combined classification, in particular, after applying multi-looking and the Lee refined speckle filter.

  • Microwave polarimetric backscattering from a wet soil surface had been measured using a Ku-band polarimetric scatterometer at the incidence angles ranging from 10$^{\circ}$ to 70$^{\circ}$ Since the accurate target parameters as well as the radar parameters are necessary for radar scattering modeling, a complete and accurate set of ground truth data were also collected, from which accurate measurements were made of the rms height, correlation length, and dielectric constant. The measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients (vv-, hh-, vh-, hv-polarizations) were compared with theoretical models and empirical models. A new semi-empirical model for microwave polarimetric radar backscattering from bare soil surfaces was developed using polarimetric radar measurements and the knowledge based on the theoretical and numerical solutions. The model was found to yield very good agreement with the backscattering measurements of this study.

  • Recent SAR systems provide fully polarimetric SAR data, which is known to be useful in a variety of applications such as disaster monitoring, target recognition, and land cover classification. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of polarization SAR data for landslide detection. The detectability of different SAR parameters was investigated based on the supervised classification approach. The classifier used in this study is the Adaptive Boosting algorithms. A fully polarimetric L-band PALSAR-2 data was used to examine landslides caused by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake in Kyushu, Japan. Experimental results show that fully polarimetric features from the target decomposition technique can provide improved detectability of landslide site with significant reduction of false alarms as compared with the single polarimetric observables.

  • We investigated the speckle filtering effect in supervised classification of the C-band polarimetric Ground Based SAR image data. Wishart classification method was used for the supervised classification of the polarimetric GB-SAR image data and total of 6 kinds of speckle filters were applied before supervised classification, which are boxcar, Gaussian, Lopez, IDAN, the refined Lee, and the refined Lee sigma filters. For each filters, we changed the filtering kernel size from $3{\times}3$ to $9{\times}9$ to investigate the filtering size effect also. The refined Lee filter with the kernel size of bigger than $5{\times}5$ showed the best result for the Wishart supervised classification of polarimetric GB-SAR image data. The result also showed that the type of trees could be discriminated by Wishart supervised classification of polarimetric GB-SAR image data.

  • This study aims to evaluate the usability of polarimetric SAR measurements for discriminating water-covered area from other land cover types and to propose polarimetric parameters showing the better response to the flood. Flood-related changes in the polarimetric parameters were studied using the L-band PALSAR-2 quad-pol mode data acquired before and after the severe flood events occurred in Joso city, Japan. The experimental results showed that, among various polarimetric parameters, the HH-polarization intensity, the Shannon entropy, and the surfaces scattering component of model-based decomposition were found to be useful to discriminate water-covered areas from other land cover types. Particularly, an unsupervised change detection with the Shannon entropy provides the best result for an automated mapping of flood extents.

  • A novel phased array antenna system for space-borne polarimetric SAR is proposed and completed in this paper.The antenna system assures polarimetric and multi-mode capability of SAR. It has broadband, high polarization isolation and high port to port isolation. The antenna system is composed of broadband polarimetric microstrip antenna, T/R modules and multifunction beam controller nit. The polarimetric microstrip antenna has more than 100MHz bandwidth at L-band with -30dB polarization isolation and high port to port isolation. The microstrip element and T/R module's structure and characteristics, the subarray's performances measuring results are presented in detail in this paper. A design scheme on beam controller of the phased array antenna is also proposed and completed, which is based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chip -TMS320F206. This beam controller unit has small size and high reliability compared with general beam controller. In addition, the multifunction beam controller unit can acquire and then send the T/R module's working states to detection system in real time.

  • 본 논문에서는 미소 뮬러 행렬 보정법(differential Mueller matrix calibration technique: DMMCT)을 이용하여 C-밴드의 지상운용용 HPS(Hongik Polarimetric Scatterometer) 시스템을 보정한 연구 결과를 선보인다. 스캐터미터 시스템 보정을 위해 금속구를 이용하여 안테나 주빔에서의 편파 측정한 안테나 패턴을 챔버에서 측정하고, DMMCT를 이용하여 지상운용용 HPS의 왜곡 정도를 분석하여 정확하게 보정한다. 단일 편파 시스템과는 다르게 완전 편파 시스템에서는 후방 산란 계수뿐만 아니라 위상 변수들도 중요하다. 보정된 지상운용용 HPS를 이용하면 논, 맨땅, 작물밭 등의 지표면에 대한 정확한 Mueller 행렬을 얻을 수 있으므로, 후방 산란 계수뿐만 아니라 동일 편파와 교차 편파의 위상 변수들도 정확하게 측정하게 된다. 보정의 정확도는 산란 모델을 이용해 계산한 후방 산란 계수와 측정한 후방 산란 계수의 비교로 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 측정으로 쟁기질 한 밭의 편파 응답 특성을 얻었으며, 이 결과를 이론 모델로 얻은 편파 응답 특성과 비교하여 보정 기술을 검증하였다.

  • SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) 원격탐사 관측 자료는 폭우나 태풍으로 인해 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 발생할 수 있는 산사태 피해 지역을 신속하게 탐지하는데 매우 유용한 도구이다. 본 연구의 목적은 산사태 발생 이후에 관측이 수행된 다중 편광 SAR 자료를 이용하여 산사태 지역을 자동으로 분류하는 효과적인 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 실험적인 분석을 바탕으로 SAR 관측 자료로부터 산사태를 탐지하기 위해서는 SAR 영상의 스펙클 현상을 줄여주는 스펙클 필터와 경사진 지형에서의 기하왜곡을 보정하는 정사보정이 필수적임을 확인하였고, IDAN 필터를 적용하여 스펙클을 줄이고 다중 편광 파라미터를 추정한 후에 정사보정을 수행하는 것이 산사태 탐지를 위해 적합한 처리 과정임을 제시하였다. 또한 다양한 다중 편광 파라미터에 대한 탐지 성능 분석을 통해 entropy 파라미터가 산사태 탐지에 좋은 성능을 보임을 파악하였다. 이러한 분석을 토대로 다중 편광 파라미터에 대한 자동적인 문턱값 설정과 DEM을 보조적으로 사용하는 산사태 탐지 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 탐지 알고리즘은 2011년 9월 태풍 탈라스에 의해 발생한 산사태에 대해 관측을 수행한 ALOS-2위성의 PALSAR-2 자료를 이용하여 실험적인 평가를 수행하였고, 약 82%의 탐지율과 3%의 오경보율로 산사태를 탐지 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
