Abstract :
A fully polarimetric (I)SAR image target decomposition process has been developed to aid automatic target recognition (ATR) for disjoint Doppler and frequency bands. In this paper the principle of target decomposition into scattering primitives is first demonstrated for a flat plate and then for a more complex target.
