Figure 1-1 The Electric Field vector has horizontal (green) and vertical (blue) components, which combine to yield the net Electric Field vector (red). The locus of the tip of the Electric Field vector is shown in brown, tracing one cycle of the waveform on a plane perpendicular to the propagation direction.

Figure 7-1: The H / α  plane showing the model-based classes and their partitioning. A description of the classes (Z1 - Z9) is given in the text.

The bounds shown in Figure 7-1 (Curve I and Curve II) show that when the entropy is high, the ability to classify different scattering mechanisms is very limited. An initial partition into nine classes (eight usable) has been suggested by Cloude and Pottier  , and is shown in Figure 7-1. Classes are chosen based on general properties of the scattering mechanism and do not depend up on a particular data set. This allows an unsupervised classification based on physical properties of the signal. The class interpretations suggested by Cloude and Pottier are as follows (see   for more details):

• Class Z1: Double bounce scattering in a high entropy environment
• Class Z2: Multiple scattering in a high entropy environment (e.g. forest canopy)
• Class Z3: Surface scattering in a high entropy environment (not a feasible region in H /  α space)
• Class Z4: Medium entropy multiple scattering
• Class Z5: Medium entropy vegetation (dipole) scattering
• Class Z6: Medium entropy surface scattering
• Class Z7: Low entropy multiple scattering (double or even bounce scattering)
• Class Z8: Low entropy dipole scattering (strongly correlated mechanisms with a large imbalance in amplitude between HH and VV)
• Class Z9: Low entropy surface scattering (e.g. Bragg scatter and rough surfaces)
