Data for paper "Effect of Ionospheric Faraday Rotation on Polarimetric Scattering Similarity"

The data set listed here were used in our study to experimentally validate and evaluate the theoretical derivation results of three types of polarimetric scattering similarity parameter under the influence of FR. This real airborne quad-polarized data set in the form of coherency matrix in .mat format were acquired at San Francisco by the L-band NASA/JPL AIRSAR. It was processed by the 7×7 Lee filtering. Data size is 800×600. This scene primarily includes three typical scatterers, i.e., ocean, urban, and vegetation.
