Abstract :
Since the backscattered signal in PolSAR images is intrinsically linked with the physical characteristics of the objects in the image, valuable information may be extracted therefrom. The paper focus is to propose a new physical characterization of the scattering target, inspired by the Blind Sources Separation techniques.
