Scattering power decomposition-based analysis for target identification

Abstract

Reflection and non reflection symmetry conditions can be fitted in the scattering models to optimize the coherence power estimation. The SAR formed from received wave is in the form of images which captures the physical feature of the target under consideration. To cohersely extract the target characters prominently the co polarization parameters are considered in the design model. In this investigation a new modified approach with the co polarization parameters is developed. The scattering component and the associated power components computed from the design model illustrate quantitatively a better confidence in evaluating the target. The components namely surface power component, volume power components and double bounce power components are obtained from the scattering parameters. The formulated algorithms model used in decomposition technique gives positive scattering powers. The technique is applied on C band RADARSAT2 images and simulated using a system level mathematical model.
