Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) — Public Tier

(3 scenes)

Full-access development tier with all data visible.

What you get

Measurements (y), ideal forward operator (H), spec ranges, ground truth (x_true), and true mismatch spec.

How to use

Load HDF5 → compare reconstruction vs x_true → check consistency → iterate.

What to submit

Reconstructed signals (x_hat) and corrected spec as HDF5.
