The polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) system is one of the most successful tools for solving remote-sensing issues. However, the images produced by this system - which uses coherent illumination - are corrupted by the multidimensional speckle noise that gives PolSAR data a multiplicativ...
