The evaluation is done on TerraSAR-X data, and the interpretation is realized automatically. In the first part of this paper (use case I), the following issues are analyzed: 1) finding the optimal TerraSAR-X products and their limits of variability and 2) retrieving the number of categories/classes that can be extracted from the TerraSAR-X images using the PFs (gray-level co-occurrence matrix, Gabor filters, quadrature mirror filters, and nonlinear short-time Fourier transform). In the second part of this paper (use case II), we investigate the invariance of the products with the orbit direction and incidence angle. On the one hand, the results show that using ascending looking is better than using descending looking with an average accuracy increase of 7%-8%, approximately. On the other hand, the classification accuracy for the incidence angle varies from a lower value of the incidence to an upper value of the incidence angle (depending on the sensor range) with 4%-5%. The test sites are Venice (Italy), Toulouse (France), Berlin (Germany), and Ottawa (Canada) and are covering as much as possible the huge diversity of modes, types, and geometric resolution configuration of the TerraSAR-X. For the evaluation of all these parameters (resolution, features, orbit looking, and incidence angle), the support-vector-machine classifier is considered. To evaluate the accuracy of the classification, the precision/recall metric is calculated. The first contribution of this paper is the evaluation of different PFs (proposed in the literature for different types of images) and adaptation of these for SAR images. These features are compared (based on the accuracy of the classification) for the first time for a multiresolution pyramid specially built for this purpose. During the evaluation,- all the classes were annotated, and a semantic meaning was defined for each class. The second main contribution of this paper is the evaluation of the dependence on the patch size, orbit direction, and incidence angle of the TerraSAR-X. This type of evaluation has not been systematically investigated so far. For the evaluation of the optimal patch, two different patch sizes were defined, with the constrained that the size on ground needs to cover a minimum of one object (e.g., 200 * 200 m on ground). This patch size depends also on the parameters of the data such as resolution and pixel spacing. The investigation of orbit looking and incidence angle is very important for indexing large data sets that has a higher variability of these two parameters. These parameters influence the accuracy of the classification (e.g., if the incidence angle is closer to the lower bounds or closer to the upper bound of the satellite sensor range).
