Abstract

Entropy (H)/ Alpha (α)/ Anisotropy (A) Polarimetric features are largely employed in Polarimetric SAR for supervised and/or unsupervised land classification. Can these features be exploited for classifying man-made targets? This paper answers this question by proposing: 1) A technique for extracting H/α/A parameters from High Resolution Range Profiles (HRRP) of the target 2) A MAP classifier based on such parameters 3) A performance analysis of such classifier based on simulated Polarimetric radar data of ships.
