<About awarded research>

Paper: “Polarimetric Feature Extraction Based on Quaternion Auto-Encoder and Self-Organization Mapping for Unsupervised PolSAR Land Classification”

In this paper, we proposed an unsupervised PolSAR land classification system based on the combination of quaternion auto-encoder and quaternion SOM, and succeeded in discoveries of new detailed land categories that were not treated as classification targets in conventional methods. We expect that these research results expand utilization range of PolSAR land classification in the near future.
