Algorithms developed to reduce number of radar polarimetric data processed to synthesize image of arbitrary combination of transmitting and receiving polarizations. Brings image-processing requirements within computing capabilities of typical users, without degrading images excessively. In scattering-matrix approach to reduction of image data, four adjacent picture elements combined into one by synthesizing new scattering matrix from scattering matrices of four elements. In phase-matrix approach, phase matrices generated from scattering matrices of four adjacent picture elements, and four phase matrices added to combine four picture elements into one.
