Calibration of SAR Polarimetric Images by Means of a Covariance Matching Approach
In this paper, a numerical method optimizer based on covariance matching is proposed for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetric calibration. The method makes use of the information provided by a distributed target and a corner reflector in order to jointly estimate the system polarimetric distortion parameters and the Faraday rotation. A preliminary analysis is conducted to show the expected accuracy values and to identify the intrinsic ambiguities of the problem. Results from simulations are shown to assess the accuracy and convergence of the method. Finally, tests have been conducted on stack of repeated full polarimetric ALOS PALSAR images to check the stability of the retrieved distortion parameters in a realistic case.
