Study on Comparison Analysis and Error Analysis of Polarization Ratio Models

Polarization ratio models are key problem for ocean surface wind field retrieval from HH polarization SAR images. This paper studied deeply on various polarization ratio models, and carried on comparison analysis and error analysis about them. We analyzed influence of incidence angle, azimuth, and wind speed for polarization ratio. By using true measurement of polarization ratio, we statistically valuated ability of various polarization ratio models, and proposed the best choice of polarization ratio models. Our research has guide meaning for using polarization ratio models reasonably.
