Abstract
In multitemporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR), coherence is a capital parameter to exploit common information between temporal acquisitions. Yet, its use is limited to high coherences. This article proposes the analysis of low-coherence scenarios by introducing a reinterpretation of coherence. It is demonstrated that coherence results from the product of two terms accounting for coherent and radiometric changes, respectively. For low coherences, the first term presents low values, preventing its exploitation for information retrieval. The information provided by the second term can be used in these circumstances to exploit common information. This second term is proposed, as an alternative to coherence, for information retrieval for low coherences. Besides, it is shown that polarimetry allows the temporal optimization of its values. To prove the benefits of this approach, multitemporal SAR and PolSAR data classification is considered as a tool, showing that improvements of the classification overall accuracy may range between 20% and 50%, compared to classification based on coherence.
