Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Three-Dimensional (3D) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) holds great potential for applications in fields such as mapping and disaster management, making it an important research focus in SAR technology. To advance the application and development of 3D SAR, especially by reducing the number of observations or antenna array elements, the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, (AIRCAS) has pioneered the development of the full-polarimetric Microwave Vision 3D SAR (MV3DSAR) experimental system. This system is designed to serve as an experimental platform and a source of data for microwave vision SAR 3D imaging studies. This study introduces the MV3DSAR experimental system along with its full-polarimetric SAR data set. It also proposes a set of full-polarimetric data processing scheme that covers essential steps such as polarization correction, polarization coherent enhancement, microwave vision 3D imaging, and 3D fusion visualization. The results from the 3D imaging data set confirm the full-polarimetric capabilities of the MV3DSAR experimental system and validate the effectiveness of the proposed processing method. The full-polarimetric unmanned aerial vehicle -borne array interferometric SAR data set, released through this study, offers enhanced data resources for advancing 3D SAR imaging research.
