Abstract
Synthetic aperture radar is latest one in the field of imaging radars. It is an active sensor. It covers the wide range of earth surface with high resolution images. Vital role of synthetic aperture radar in various fields of applications is to know about its parameters. Data formats play an important role in the signal processing of synthetic aperture radar sensor. This paper illustrates an effort to classify various data formats related to synthetic aperture radar. Here the data formats related to Polarimetry are discussed. They are Raw data, Single Look Complex, Multi look. These data formats helps in identifying the earth objects. The polarization data contains information, on scattering mechanism related to different objects. The objects are detected as land, ocean, forest, vegetation which are natural distributed targets. The urban areas which are manmade targets are also identified. Here the data formats and files related to PolSAR are presented.
