A New Method of Polarimetric SAR Three-dimensional Imaging

A new method of polarimetric SAR three-dimensional imaging using polarimetric SAR data is proposed which provides both a direct measure of terrain azimuthal slopes and derived estimate of terrain elevation. The algorithms discussed in this paper include the fast searching algorithm and the solving ambiguity algorithm of the polarimetric ellipse rotation angle ψ. The terrain height is also obtained by employing the method.
