|
- Permits more detailed mapping
|
- Expected improvement in mapping of surficial deposits and rock units in vegetated terrain based on the polarimetric response
|
- Provides better contrast than both HH and VV when mapping recharge terrains in arid environments
|
- More sensitive to areas of extreme surface roughness or where abrupt changes in relief occur
- Bedrock fracture zones and fault scarps are highlighted by much stronger contrast relative to the surroundings than in HH or VV
|
- Combination provides for better discrimination of different geological units such as sedimentary or metamorphic rock types
|
- Provides better contrast than either HH or HV
