MATLAB Implementation of Pauli Decomposition with RGB Display

Resource Overview

MATLAB code implementation for Pauli decomposition with RGB visualization of the resulting image components.

Detailed Documentation

This implementation utilizes MATLAB programming to perform Pauli decomposition and visually represent the decomposed components using RGB color channels. The algorithm processes polarimetric SAR data by decomposing the scattering matrix into three fundamental Pauli basis components, which are then mapped to RGB color channels for intuitive visualization. Key functions include matrix transformation operations, color channel assignment, and image normalization to ensure proper display dynamics. The implementation involves calculating the Pauli vector components and assigning them to red, green, and blue channels respectively, creating a composite RGB image that effectively represents the scattering characteristics of the target.
