• Comparison Between Dielectric Inversion Results From Synthetic Aperture Radar Co- and Quad-Polarimetric Data via a Polarimetric Two-Scale Model 

      Quigley, Cornelius; Brekke, Camilla; Eltoft, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-03)
      In this study, we compare the retrieval results for the dielectric properties of verified oil slick, acquired using airborne multifrequency synthetic aperture radar. A polarimetric two-scale model was used to invert the radar imagery by first employing solely the co-polarization channels, and then by employing the co-polarization channels in conjunction with the cross-polarization channels, and ...
    • A comparison between optical and SAR classification results for thin sea ice in Storfjorden 

      Quigley, Cornelius (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-31)
      According to the scientific consensus, the Arctic is currently in a state of unprecedented change. In recent years, climate change has been identified as the main cause of Arctic sea ice decline. For this reason, the need to have access to timely and cost effective data is of great importance. Remote sensing via Earth orbiting satellites offers extensive data coverage in areas that are typically ...
    • Inferring the Dielectric Properties of Oil Slick from Multifrequency SAR imagery via a Polarimetric Two-Scale Model 

      Quigley, Cornelius; Brekke, Camilla; Eltoft, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-04)
      We apply a polarimetric two-scale model to multifrequency synthetic aperture radar imagery of verified oil slicks measured by DLRs F-SAR instrument, which can acquire high spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise data. The purpose, is to determine the permittivity of the scattering surface via an inversion procedure. The ocean surface is modelled as an ensemble of randomly orientated, tilted ...
    • Retrieval of Marine Surface Slick Dielectic Properties From Radarsat-2 Data via a Polarimetric Two-Scale Model 

      Quigley, Cornelius; Brekke, Camilla; Eltoft, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-27)
      We propose the use of a polarimetric two-scale surface scattering model to retrieve the dielectric parameters of oil slick from the polarimetric synthetic aperture radar. The ocean surface is modeled as an ensemble of randomly orientated, slightly roughened, tilted facets, for which the small perturbation model is assumed to be valid under the condition of no tilt. The orientation of the random ...
