This project aims at comparing the contrast between vehicles and background offered by different polarimetric features, at different wavelengths and under different orientation angles. The study is based on data acquired with {DLR}’s {F-SAR,} in Oksb{\o}l, Denmark, at {X,} S and L bands. This work can lead to further improvements in target detection by selecting individual features or a combination of features optimizing contrast between vehicles and their surroundings." }
