Analysis of the temporal behavior of coherent scatterers (CSs) in ALOS PalSAR data

Coherent Scatterers (CSs) are scatterers detected by using spectral correlation properties and characterized by a deterministic scattering behavior. In this paper we investigate, for the first time, the temporal behavior of CSs using quad-pol data acquired by ALOS/PalSAR. In this sense, we can evaluate the stability of the deterministic scattering nature of individual scatterers.
