For the cross-pol channel case, the contrast (power ratio) is expressed in a homogeneous form, which leads the polarimetric contrast optimization to a distinctive eigenvalue problem. For the co-pol channel case, this paper proposes a cross iterative method for optimization, based on the formula used in the matched-pol channel. Both these numerical methods can be proved as convergent algorithms, and they are effective for obtalning the optimum polarization state. Besides, one of the proposed methods is applied to solve the optimal problem of contrast enhancement for the time-independent targets case. To verify the proposed methods, this paper provides two numerical examples. The results of calculation are completely identical with other authors', showing the validity of the proposed methods.}, pages = {174--183}, title = {Optimal Problem for Contrast Enhancement in Polarimetric Radar Remote Sensing}, volume = {E82-B}, year = {1999} }
