An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena
Now thoroughly revised, Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively …

Criteria for discriminating between radar signatures of oil films and biogenic slicks visible on
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the sea surface as dark patches are critically …

Knowledge of the exact statistical properties of the signal plays an important role in the
applications of Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data. In the last three …

A semi-empirical model of the ensemble-averaged differential Mueller matrix for microwave
backscattering from bare soil surfaces is presented. Based on existing scattering models …

Oil spills on the sea surface are observed relatively often. Pollution due to either accidents or
deliberate oily discharges from ships represents a serious threat to the marine environment …

In this paper, we study surface slick characterization in polarimetric C-band synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) data. The objective is to identify the most powerful multipolarization …

This paper provides a nearly complete analysis of the key distributions encountered in
single-and multi-look polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data under the bivariate Gaussian …

In this study dual‐polarized synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements were used to
enhance oil spill observation. The co‐polarized phase difference (CPD) was modelled and …

Oil spill detection in SAR images operating in a hybrid-polarimetric mode is examined. We
propose and review several strategies for oil spill detection in hybrid-polarimetric SAR data …

Biomass estimation of eastern Mediterranean shrublands was investigated using PALSAR
full-and dual-polarization L-band and Sentinel-1 dual-polarization C-band data. First, we …
