Code 5.1: σ0 Polarization Synthesis of PolSAR Images

Code Name: PolSynthesis_Images.m

Description: Given a polarimetric image, the code synthesizes the radar image for any specified transmit and receive polarization combination.

Input Variables:

  Svv,Shh,Shv:    2-D complex arrays storing the vv-pol, hh-pol, and hv-pol responses of the imaged scene.
 
   nx and ny:    Number of pixels of the image along x and y dimensions
  ψr:    Rotation polarization angle of receive antenna of synthesized image (degrees)
  χr:    Ellipticity polarization angle of receive antenna of synthesized image (degrees)
  ψt:    Rotation polarization angle of transmit antenna of synthesized image (degrees)
  χt:    Ellipticity polarization angle of transmit antenna of synthesized image (degrees)

Output Products:

  Synthesized image
