Abstract

In this article, we develop two target parameters to model the interaction between a target and a polarization wave. The two parameters are the target ellipticity angle (TEA) and the target phase angle (TPA). The concept of reflection symmetry or rotation symmetry is used to explain the robustness of the estimation method and to show problems associated with other algorithms. C-band Radarsat-2 and L band ALOS PALSAR multi-look full polarimetric images are used to substantiate the parameters, and validate the effectiveness of them. In addition, the TEA and TPA are compared with $\alpha - \beta $ model and Touzi TVSM model for single-look polarimetric SAR data. Experimental results show that the two target parameters are beneficial supplements for interpreting the target scattering processes and separating buildings from other targets.
