Abstract :
This paper addresses under-foliage target detection using diverse detection schemes. Compared with classical detection schemes as GLRT and SSF-based detection, isolated scatterer selection is potential to eliminate volume effects and detect under-foliage targets. The full-rank polarimetric spectral estimators are also applied for under-foliage detection. The effectiveness of diverse detection schemes are demonstrated by using L-band Multi-Baseline PolInSAR Data over Dornstetten, Germany.
