PolSARpro v5.1 SOFTWARE
A Bit Of History
CONTEXT
The initiative development of PolSARpro Software is a direct

result of recommendations made during the POLinSAR 2003
Workshop held at ESA-ESRIN in January 2003.
2003
2009
2004
2007
2005
Tool specifically designed to handle :

Polarimetric data
and
Polarimetric Interferometric data.
Educational Software offering a tool for

self-education
in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR
data processing and analysis.
Developed to be accessible to :
a wide range of users
from novices to experts
in the field of POLSAR and POL-InSAR.
MODULAR STRUCTURE
Each element of the Software (a function)
can be extracted and incorporated
individually into users’ own processing
software.
OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT
PolSARpro v5.1 Software is made available

following the:
Open Source Software Development (OSSD)
approach, and follows the:
GNU General Public License v2 – June 1991.
PolSARpro v5.1 Software runs today on Windows

and Linux platforms
