Abstract :
The paper presents polarimetric measurements of nonspecular scattering from rough building surfaces. Both V-V and V-H polarizations were estimated independently. The superresolution method was applied as an approach to handle the signal parameters of individual incoming waves scattered from rough building surfaces. In order to comprehend the details of microscopic scattering mechanisms, signal parameters are incorporated into the geometrical ray tracing.
