New polarimetric signal subspace detectors for SAR processors

This paper deals with three new polarimetric SAR processors based on subspace detectors. These algorithms aim at using models with physical and polarimetric scattering properties not exploited by the isotropic point model. These processors are implemented by computing the corresponding target subspaces. Results on simulated data with realistic targets show the interest of these new processors.
