The explanations use actual data sets taken by Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS and ALOS2). With the increasing problems presented by climate change, there is a growing need for detailed earth observation using polarimetric data. As the treatment of vector nature of radar waves is complex, there is a gap between the theory and the application\u003ci\u003e. Polarimetric SAR Imaging: Theory and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e addresses and fills this gap. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides cutting-edge polarimetric applications for earth observation with full color images.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed descriptions of theory, equations, expansions, and flowcharts, and numerous real examples. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains concepts, data analysis, and applications in simple and clear language aimed at an intuitive comprehension. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides specific and unique examples of PolSAR images derived from actual space and airborne systems (ALOS\/ALOS2, PiSAR-x\/L) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the wide range of the radar polarimetry, especially the decomposition of the polarimetry data, an original method developed by the author using the Japanese polarimetric SAR data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated in full color using images generated by polarimetric techniques, this book is easy to understand and use for both student and expert, and is an excellent resource both in the classroom and in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45242442154135,"sku":"9780367503109","price":4835.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367503109.webp?v=1769232189","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/polarimetric-sar-imaging-theory-and-applications-9780367503109","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
