Abstract :
This paper shows first results of polarimetric SAR stereo applied to urban areas. SAR stereo is known as a useful technique for three-dimensional mapping. Until now many approaches and results have been reported, based on single polarization measurements. But stereogrammetry has not been used with polarimetric information. In this paper, we use polarimetric SAR measurements acquired during a square loop flight. It is shown that typical objects, like a TV tower can be reconstructed and its polarimetric properties analysed using this method.
