The launches of three fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) satellites have shown that polarimetric radar imaging can provide abundant data on the Earth's environment. This book presents polarimetric radar imaging and processing techniques and shows how to develop remote sensing applications using PolSAR imaging radar.
