    Abstract

    This article aims at providing a comparison of Polarimetric change detection indices from a practical point of view. Six Polarimetric change detection indices were tested on L band EMISAR data over Norway. Tests included quantitative evaluation of change maps compared to a ground truth of changes, and qualitative evaluation by visual inspection. Contrast Ratio and the Wishart test gave the best results among the tested indices.
