Improving SAR Ship Detection Accuracy by Optimizing Polarization Modes: A Study of Generalized Compact Polarimetry (GCP) Performance

The debate surrounding the optimal polarimetric modes—compact polarimetry (CP) versus dual polarization (DP)—for PolSAR ship detection persists. This study pioneers a systematic investigation into Generalized Compact Polarimetry (GCP) for this application. By synthesizing and evaluating 143 distinct...
