6 A Bit Of History PolSARpro

7 CONTEXT The initiative development of PolSARpro Software is a direct result of recommendations made during the POLinSAR 2003 Workshop held at ESA-ESRIN in January

8

9 PolSARpro v5.0 SOFTWARE v4.2 Jan v5.0 Jan. 2013

10 Tool specifically designed to handle : Polarimetric data and Polarimetric Interferometric data.

11 Educational Software offering a tool for self-education in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR data processing and analysis.

12 Developed to be accessible to : a wide range of users from novices to experts in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR.

13 PolSARpro v5.0 TEAM

14 In collaboration with :

15 USER INTERFACE PolSARpro v5.0 Software is conceived as a flexible environment, with a friendly and intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) The graphical user interface (GUI) is written in Tcl-Tk lines managing 189 widget windows C routines ( lines) performing wellestablished algorithms in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR.

16 MODULAR STRUCTURE Each element of the Software (a function) can be extracted and incorporated individually into users own processing software.

17 MODULAR STRUCTURE Users can easily add their own functions and components, as PolSARpro v5.0 Software is conceived as a flexible and open software environment.

18 OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT PolSARpro v5.0 Software is made available following the: Open Source Software Development (OSSD) approach, and follows the: GNU General Public License v2 June PolSARpro v5.0 Software runs today on: Windows 98+, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP, Windows 7 and Linux I386 Macintosh OS:

19 OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT The Tool is free download on the Internet from the ESA Web Portal (Earthnet) at :

55 PolSARpro SIM PolSARpro v3.31 SOFTWARE PolSARproSim is a rapid, coherent, fully polarimetric SAR simulation of forest for demonstrating POLinSAR techniques within PolSARpro Software v3.31. PolSARproSim generates simulated interferometric SAR images of artificial forest scenes that may be analysed as real SAR imagery. SAR properties and imaging geometry are obtained from the user who specifies centre frequency, azimuth and slant range resolutions, along with platform altitude, incidence angle and horizontal and vertical interferometric baselines. Ground surface generation is controlled by specifying the surface properties slope, roughness and wetness (on simple sliding scales) and forest properties (species, height, stand density and stand area).

56 PolSARpro SIM The SAR image is evaluated as a coherent sum of scattering events from small elements of the scene Direct-Ground, Direct-Volume and Ground-Volume contributions are included, with both trees and short vegetation comprising Volume terms. DECIDUOUS GV DG DV PINE RANDOM HEDGE Given the map of tree locations and dimensions a grid of points is used to sample the attenuation of the coherent wave in 3D
