This paper provides techniques that allow construction of pseudo quad-pol information from dual-polarization SAR systems based on a few simple assumptions. Compact polarimetry showed promise of being able to reduce the complexity, cost, mass, and data rate of a SAR system while attempting to maintain many capabilities of a fully polarimetric systemenHybrid polarity (HP)reconstruction methodsSynthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)Compact and Full Polarimetric SAR Imaging for Target CharacterizationArticle
