Physics-Based Predictions for Coherent Change Detection Using X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar

A theoretical model is developed to describe the interferometric coherency between pairs of SAR images of rough soil surfaces. The model is derived using a dyadic form for surface reflectivity in the Kirchhoff approximation. This permits the combination of Kirchhoff theory and spotlight synthetic ap...
