| Summary: | In this paper we propose to study the potential of jointly using polarimetric and tomographic SAR data to recognize and localize
buildings in complex scenarios. We present extraction methods for both polarimetric and tomographic features. One the one hand,
we propose to use the polarimetric bilateral filter that has proved to be a powerful tool to retrieve the polarimetric covariance matrix
while reducing speckle and preserving edges. Thus, polarimetric decompositions can be used for physical interpretation. On the other
hand, the TomoSNI and TomoSeed algorithms allow to respectively extract interest points and segment geometric primitives in 3D
point clouds obtained with tomographic focusing methods. We show how the output of such algorithms could be combined in order
to allow the extraction of buildings. We also analyze different issues related to complex scenarios that may impede a correct detection
and discuss some possible solutions. |
