PolSARpro v4.0 SOFTWARE Tool specifically designed to handle : Polarimetric data and Polarimetric Interferometric data.
PolSARpro v4.0 SOFTWARE Educational Software offering a tool for self-education in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR data processing and analysis.
PolSARpro v4.0 SOFTWARE Developed to be accessible to : a wide range of users from novices to experts in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR.
PolSARpro v4.0 TEAM
In collaboration with :

USER INTERFACE
PolSARpro v4.0 Software is conceived as a flexible environment, with a friendly and intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The graphical user interface (GUI) is written in Tcl-Tk - 331185 lines managing 189 widget windows - 1078 C routines (464803 lines) performing wellestablished algorithms in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR.

MODULAR STRUCTURE
Each element of the Software (a function) can be extracted and incorporated individually into users own processing software.

MODULAR STRUCTURE
Users can easily add their own functions and components, as PolSARpro v4.0 Software is conceived as a flexible and open software environment.

OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT
PolSARpro v4.0 Software is made available following the: Open Source Software Development (OSSD) approach, and follows the: GNU General Public License v2 June 1991. PolSARpro v4.0 Software runs today on: Windows 98+, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP, Linux I386 and Unix SOLARIS Macintosh OS:

OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT
The Tool is free download on the Internet from the ESA Web Portal (Earthnet) at : http://earth.esa.int/polsarpro

About PolSARpro
PolSARpro SIM
PolSARproSim is a rapid, coherent, fully polarimetric SAR simulation of forest for demonstrating POLinSAR techniques within PolSARpro Software v3.31. PolSARproSim generates simulated interferometric SAR images of artificial forest scenes that may be analysed as real SAR imagery. SAR properties and imaging geometry are obtained from the user who specifies centre frequency, azimuth and slant range resolutions, along with platform altitude, incidence angle and horizontal and vertical interferometric baselines. Ground surface generation is controlled by specifying the surface properties slope, roughness and wetness (on simple sliding scales) and forest properties (species, height, stand density and stand area).
PolSARpro SIM
The SAR image is evaluated as a coherent sum of scattering events from small elements of the scene Direct-Ground, Direct-Volume and Ground-Volume contributions are included, with both trees and short vegetation comprising Volume terms.
