Multi-baseline POL-inSAR statistical techniques for the characterization of distributed media

This paper presents principles and robust techniques to estimate physical parameters of natural environments using Multi-Baseline Polarimetric and Interferometric SAR (MB-POL-inSAR) data. The first part of this paper concerns the abstract topic of MB-POL-inSAR coherence optimization The second part is dedicated to the general estimation of the coherence line model parameters [1]. It is demonstrated that the line parameters can be estimated in an analytical and robust way by using the whole available POL-inSAR information.
