Abstract :
In this paper, a noise model for the extended six dimensions covariance matrix used in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry is proposed. This noise model is able to interpret interferometric, as well as polarimetric noise characteristics for the diagonal and non-diagonal elements of the covariance matrix.
