abstract = "This paper investigates the use of polarimetric information
extracted from SIR-C/X-SAR complex polarimetric images for crop
discrimination in Bebedouro region, Pernambuco state, Brasil. In
addition to widely used modulus of complex channels
(amplitude)another two channels, modulus and phase from complex
correlation coeficient between HH and VV complex channels were
also used. The phase of correlation coeficient is a smoothed
version of phase difference information between HH and VV, and was
used in lieu of it. Five classes; corn, soya beans, stubble, bare
soil and {"}caatinga{"} were defined. To assess the discrimination
power of the extracted features confusion matrix of maximum
likelyhood per point classification and Jeffreys-Matusita distance
were calculated for there classes. Results showed that phase
information can greatly improve the classification accuracy and
the modulus of correlation coeficient carries also discrimination
power.",
