4. Introduction Study of value adding processing methods for SLC and InSAR data, for scene class recognition
5. Introduction Study of value adding processing methods for SLC and InSAR data, for scene class recognition Concept: Make use of the information contained in the phase of the SAR signal
6. Data descriptors – spectral features Direct estimation from spectra based on spectral differences
7. Data model The 2-D signal model: Where complex amplitude of the k th sinusoid unknown frequencies of the k th sinusoid 2-D noise Data descriptors spectral components estimation Problem: Estimate the parameters of the sinusoidal signals:

Stoica: “Efficient Mixed-Spectrum Estimation with Applications to Target Feature Extraction”, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 44, 1996, 281-295 Model choice: minimize NLS criterion: Peak of the 2-D periodogram Algorithm preparations: if α k and f k are known, minimize cost function for the k th sinusoid is: Height of the peak (complex) Data descriptors spectral components estimation
10. AKAIKE Information Criterion – model order selection Estimates the expected Kullback-Leibler information between the model generating the data and a candidate model Model selection: = parameter to be estimated from empirical data y Best Model: Minimum AIC value y = generated from f(x), X is a random variable Log likelihood function for model selection: Data descriptors spectral components estimation
