Abstract

This paper discussion some problems concerning the recognition of man-made targets from microwave imagery. Thereby, of special interest is the dependence of the image fidelity on the lateral resolution, and on the depolarization properties of the target. An improvement of independent partial images using aspect and polarization diversity.
