Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the ERS-1/2 satellites acquired by the receiving station in Singapore reveal that the large internal solitons previously detected by in-situ oceanographic measurements in the western approaches of the Strait of Malacca between Phuket (Thailand) and the northern coast of Sumatra (Indonesia) are generated at shallow banks in the western part of the Andaman Sea. When propagating onto the shelf of the Malayan Peninsula, their spatial separation decreases and their shape becomes irregular, but they remain solitons of depression.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90037829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a simple backscatter theory based on radiative transfer (RT) theory is presented. The random medium, bounded on top and bottom by a rough surface, contains a layer of randomly distributed spherical scatterers. The phase matrix for these closely packed discrete scatterers is obtained using the dense medium phase and amplitude correction theory (DM-PACT) and the rough surface is characterized by the IEM model. The integro-differential equations of radiative transfer theory are solved iteratively up to second order solutions. Scattering terms for direct surface, direct volume, surface-volume and volume-volume interactions are identified. These results are compared with full model solutions using the matrix doubling method.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83133023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lot of studies have been done to derive the elevation map from SAR data, however, only few studies have been reported to examine the difference between the elevation map and DEM (Digital Elevation Model). In this paper, the authors compare the surface elevation map derived from interferometric SAR data with DEM, and evaluate the error distribution of the elevation map. The root mean squared error is found to be 33 m, and it agrees with the absolute vertical accuracy of DEM. The error distribution is also evaluated, and is verified to be approximately Gaussian. The large errors tend to appear locally at shadowed or steep sloped area, where phase noise or phase unwrapping error is large.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80717277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that at the wavelength /spl lambda/=850 nm, the polarization degrees over the coastal zone become smaller than those over the sea surface at a long distance from the land, while at /spl lambda/=450 nm the polarization pattern over the coastal zone is almost the same as that over the sea surface distant from the land. In this study, the adjacency effect influence on polarization measurements is evaluated by using a single scattering radiative transfer model. As a result, it is found that at /spl lambda/=850 nm, as adjacent effects arising from the radiation reflected by the land surface are more significant, the degree of polarization over the sea surface becomes smaller.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79617049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Texture and speckle statistics in polarimetric SAR synthesized images","authors":"G. D. Grandi, Jong-Sen Lee, D. Schuler, E. Nezry","doi":"10.1109/IGARSS.1997.606463","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IGARSS.1997.606463","url":null,"abstract":"A study on the texture and speckle statistics in polarimetric SAR synthesized images was carried out by the authors and presented in preliminary form at the IGARSS'95 Symposium. Some results, which have been recently consolidated, are summarized. The authors introduce at first a formalism to measure from experimental SAR data and represent graphically and in concise form the dependency of the statistical properties of the image on the polarization state. In particular they focus their attention on the one point statistics and on the second order normalized moment dependency on the polarization state. This is an extension of the classical polarimetric signature, and in the case of the second order moment is called the polarimetric texture signature. Application of this formalism to a data set acquired by the NASA JPL AIRSAR polarimetric radar over the Les Landes forest reveals some distinct and interesting trends in the texture signatures. Theoretical explanation of the phenomenon starts from the consideration of the influence of the synthesis operation, seen as a linear transformation of random variables, on the probability distribution function of the radar signal. A first mechanism that underpins the second moment variation with polarization is defined; this effect arises when multi-look polarimetric data are derived in the space domain from correlated single look data, and is entirely due to the fading statistics. A second mechanism is postulated to account for the observed texture signatures, which is due to the polarimetric diversity of the underlying radar reflectivity. This asymmetry in the response of the scatterer to the polarized wave can be best modelled using a so called polarimetric mixture approach, whereby polarimetrically different scattering mechanisms are combined for each resolution cell. A Monte Carlo simulation approach is used to reconstruct the observed signatures, starting from the assumption of simple physical situations, which can be realizable in scattering processes from natural targets. An example is presented, related to a mixture of deterministic point targets and a vegetation clutter. An interesting consequence from the application point of view is that the polarimetric texture signature is found to be a discriminator of weak targets against a clutter, when only polarimetric diversity and not radiometric diversity plays a role.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90268813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
