Beschreibung:
The scattering matrix and Stokes matrix formats for multipolarization synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are introduced. The effects of converting to the Stokes matrix format, without first doubling the sampling rate to allow for the conversion from a complex to an intensity format is quantified and discussed. It is shown that for most applications the Stokes matrix format is acceptable, since errors introduced by undersampling tend to average out when large numbers of pixels are averaged. For those applications requiring analysis of single image pixels, the scattering matrix format is recommended.
