An Examination of the Assumptions in the Polcal Cross-Talk Removal Algorithm.

Kurzfassung

JPL's calibration software package POLCAL has implemented the cross-talk removal algorithm presented, which is based on the statistical properties of the image background and does not need any corner reflector or active radar calibrator deployed in the scene. The great advantage of being able to remove the cross-talk contamination without using external calibration targets gives rise to consider algorithms based on clutter statistics in polarimetric SAR images in more detail.
