Abstract :
This paper deals with the application of modern spectral analysis (SPECAN) techniques to polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. The purpose is to use all the information provided by images of the same SAR scene at the different polarimetric channels (HH-VV-HV-VH) in order to improve the geometrical resolution with respect to the resolution corresponding to the transmitted bandwidth an the synthetic aperture length. One practical motivation for this work is to improve radar image quality so that subsequent classification procedures will have greater chance of success
