AB: Polarimetric SAR data demonstrations found in the open literature show polarimetry as a very powerful tool for radar scatterer analysis for Earth and Space science applications, such as ship detection, target detection, search and rescue, land cover classification, interferometry, and others. Using polarimetric SAR imagery, a number of methods for identifying scatterers with point-like scattering behavior are available in the public scientific literature. Here, polarimetric processing control parameters of a number of these methods are being investigated for efficient processing of scatterers for detection and analysis. This investigation focuses on fully polarimetric SAR data that are available from the NASA JPL AirSAR public archive. This study explores a number of polarimetric SAR scenes, which include various land cover types such as urban, residential, vegetation, and others.
