In this post I’ll take you through some simple functions in the freeware polarimetric SAR processing package, PolSARPro. The software is distributed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and supports a wide range of dual- and quadpol datasets, including Radarsat-2, Envisat ASAR, SIR-C, EMISAR, and AIRSAR. I’ll be processing ALOS PALSAR in this example. The steps I will show are: Importing and Extracting data, calibration, speckle filtering and multilooking. We will finish by producing an Entropy-Alpha-Anisotropy dataset.
