This book introduces readers to the polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) system, its information processing, and imaging applications. The content is divided into three main parts: Part I, on the research scope of PolSAR, addresses the underlying theory and system design, polarimetric SAR interferometry (PolInSAR), compact PolSAR, and calibration of PolSAR. Part II, which focuses on information processing, highlights the new theories and methods used in PolSAR, such as statistical properties analysis for images, speckle reduction, image enhancement, polarimetric target decomposition, and classification of PolSAR target detection. In turn, Part III, on the applications of polarimetric SAR, discusses the geophysical parameter retrieval of PolSAR data, polarimetric interferometric SAR information processing, compact polarimetric interferometric SAR information processing, and the effects of terrain tilt in azimuth direction on PolSAR data. The bookprovides a comprehensive and systematic guide to the system, integrating theory and practice, and has a highly application-oriented focus. Presenting new theories, methods and achievements made in polarimetric microwave imaging in recent years, it offers a valuable asset for researchers, engineers and scientists in the area of remote sensing and radar imaging. It can also be used as a reference book for university educators and graduate students.

La educaci n superior china en la actualidad se caracteriza por un sistem tico proceso de perfeccionamiento a partir de las experiencias internacionales sin perder por ello las caracter sticas que milenariamente han identificado la educaci n en el gigante asi tico. La pol tica de apertura llevada a cabo por la Rep blica Popular China, ha permitido no s lo abrirse China al mundo, sino tambi n el mundo recibir las experiencias que en el proceso econ mico-social y su incidencia en la educaci n ha tenido la estrategia de desarrollo asumida por este pa s desde finales de la d cada de los 70. En la actualidad las IES privadas han logrado dar respuesta a una importante parte de los j venes que desean ingresar a la educaci n superior, con lo que han contribuido al logro primero de una tasa bruta de matriculaci n "masiva" y favorecen el logro de la "universal" por la cual se trabaja en toda China. No obstante, a n subsisten elementos que atentan contra la calidad del graduado, aspecto que tambi n se est logrando eliminar. En la actualidad son un elemento importante para el logro del desarrollo de la Rep blica Popular China y el aumento del bienestar de su pueblo.
