16. Entropy Alpha Anisotropy 1.0 0 1.0 0 90° 0 b Refined Lee IDAN NL-PolSAR The refined Lee filter and the NLPolSAR filters have similar performance. The IDAN filter usually introduces bias in entropy and anisotropy values, which may result to unreliable classification results. San Francisco by JPL L–Band AIRSAR

20. Decomposition and classification page AIRSAR ALOS/PALSAR Radarsat–2 Refined LEE NL-PolSAR The results of AIRSAR, ALOS/PALSAR and RadarSat-2 data show that the classification results with different sensors are quite similar, except the water area in the AIRSAR data, which is due to the big variation of the incidence angle of the airborne sensor.

21. The NL-PolSAR filter has better performance than the refined Lee filter, for example, the golf course areas and the lakes in the AIRSAR classification results.
