摘要:French Polynesia islands are located at the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. They are thus subject to a strong environmental planning leading to landscape changes as well as to the introduction of invasive species. This study comes within the framework of the global cartography and inventory of the Polynesian landscape. An AIRSAR airborne mission took place in August 2000 over the main Polynesian islands. Polarimetric SAR data are particularly adapted to the cloudy conditions generally encountered over the South Pacific Islands. Fully polarimetric data allows the analysis of a geometrical and physical point of view. Different decompositions, such as H/A/α or based on the Pauli formalism have shown their potential for such applications. In order to apply these indicators and to produce a semi-automatic cartography of the Tubuai Island, we choose to use the SVM (Support Vector Machine) as supervised classifier. These results are also compared with the Wishart classifier based on the analysis of the polarimetric coherency matrix only. As our full polarimetric data are also available in P and L bands this study evaluates the contribution of the different wavelength. This study shown that the combination of SVM and full polarimetric data, associates with different wavelength, gives promising results
