Optimal SVM classification for compact polarimetric data using Stokes parameters (Q483253)

As indicated by the authors, they have two main aims in the paper: (i)``to assess the potential of the new compact polarimetry imaging radar system called hybrid-polarimetry (CL-pol): circular transmitted polarization and coherent dual linear receive polarizations for full characterization and exploitation of the backscattered field''; (ii) ``to develop a classification polarimetric method based on the support vector machine which uses full- and the compact-pol modes''. Several images are included to illustrate the obtained results.
