Dominant Physical Scattering Mechanism Analysis for GF-3 Typical Ground Objects by Polarimetric Decomposition
Abstract
The dominant scattering mechanism is of great significance for the application of ground objects classification and target detection. It can also verify the quality of the polarimetric data by check the dominant scattering mechanism of known ground objects. In order to improve the application performance, this paper studies the dominant scattering mechanism of GF-3 typical ground objects based on a large number of data slices. The GF-3 fully polarimetric data slices are classified based on the MODIS global classification map, and the GF-3 slice library of typical ground objects is constructed. Based on large amounts of GF-3 samples, we carry out the statistical analysis of dominant scattering mechanism separation results for typical GF-3 ground objects (building, woodland, cultivated land, grassland and waters) of by means of h/alpha/A decomposition. The quantitative results reveal the polarimetric scattering feature of different ground objects, and provide reference for fully polarimetric SAR application.
