Abstract: Polarimetric SAR image classification is one of the hots pots in the field of remote sensing,which provides a new means for information acquisition and classification of objects.In this paper,support vector machine (SVM) is used to classify ALOS PALSAR polarized data in Pengzhou petrochemical area,Sichuan province.In the experiment,the total power of polarization is firstly obtained,then the Cloude-Pottier polarization is decomposed,and then the feature parameters,Shannon entropy and radar vegetation index are extracted based on the eigenvalues of the coherent matrix.The SVM classification of the images is carried out by combining these polarimetric features,and compared with the SVM classification based on Freeman-Durden polarization decomposition and Wishart supervised classification.The experimental results show that the polarization characteristic combined with the information is complementary and the classification result is better,the Kappa coefficient is 97.14%,and the Kappa coefficient of the other two methods increased by 5.26% and 27.20%,respectively.

Key words: ALOS PALSAR, polarization characteristic combination, support vector machine, Cloude-Pottier decomposition, classification of objects
