Although the potential of full- and dual-polarimetric (FP and DP) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for wetland classification has been well examined, the capability of compact polarimetric (CP) SAR data has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This is of great significance, since the upcoming RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM), which will soon be the main source of SAR observations in Canada, will have CP mode as one of its main SAR configurations. This also highlights the necessity to fully exploit such important Earth Observation (EO) data by examining the similarities and dissimilarities between FP and CP SAR data for wetland mapping. Accordingly, this study examines and compares the discrimination capability of extracted features from FP and simulated CP SAR data between pairs of wetland classes. In particular, 13 FP and 22 simulated CP SAR features are extracted from RADARSAT-2 data to determine their discrimination capabilities both qualitatively and quantitatively in three wetland sites, located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Seven of 13 FP and 15 of 22 CP SAR features are found to be the most discriminant, as they indicate an excellent separability for at least one pair of wetland classes. The overall accuracies of 87.89%, 80.67%, and 84.07% are achieved using the CP SAR data for the three wetland sites (Avalon, Deer Lake, and Gros Morne, respectively) in this study. Although these accuracies are lower than those of FP SAR data, they confirm the potential of CP SAR data for wetland mapping as accuracies exceed 80% in all three sites. The CP SAR data collected by RCM will significantly contribute to the efforts ongoing of conservation strategies for wetlands and monitoring changes, especially on large scales, as they have both wider swath coverage and improved temporal resolution compared to those of RADARSAT-2.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11050516","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,4]],"date-time":"2019-03-04T05:45:36Z","timestamp":1551678336000},"page":"516","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Full and Simulated Compact Polarimetry SAR Responses to Canadian Wetlands: Separability Analysis and Classification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9472-2324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fariba","family":"Mohammadimanesh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"C-CORE, 1 Morrissey Rd, St. John\u2019s, NL A1B 3X5, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, NL A1C 5S7, Canada"}]},{"given":"Bahram","family":"Salehi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Resources Engineering, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, State University of New York, NY 13210, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7234-959X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masoud","family":"Mahdianpari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C-CORE, 1 Morrissey Rd, St. John\u2019s, NL A1B 3X5, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, NL A1C 5S7, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8439-362X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brian","family":"Brisco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation, Ottawa, ON K1S 5K2, Canada"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Gill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, NL A1C 5S7, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gardner, R.C., and Davidson, N.C.
