Title
On the calibration of polarimetric SAR data with a numerical method.
Abstract
In this work, a numerical method optimizer for SAR polarimetric calibration is proposed. 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. The different order of magnitude of cross-talks and Faraday Rotation is exploited to overcome the intrinsic ambiguity related to the problem. Tests have been conducted both on simulated data, confirming the ability of the proposed method to provide realistic estimation of the distortion parameters, even in case of low quality Corner Reflector.
