With the development of the Mini-SAR system, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle borne (UAV-borne) PolInSAR systems became a reality. However, UAV-borne PolInSAR is easily affected by air currents and other factors, which may cause large motion errors and polarization distortion inevitably exists. However, there are few pieces of research which are about motion compensation residual error (MCRE) and polarization distortion effects on PolInSAR. Though the effects of MCRE on Interferometric SAR (InSAR) and polarization distortion on PolInSAR were studied, respectively, these two parts are independently modeled and analyzed. In this paper, a model that simultaneously considers the effects of these two kinds of errors is proposed, and simulation results are given to validate the model. Then, a quantitative analysis based on a real Quadcopter UAV PolInSAR system is performed according to the model, which is valuable for system design and practical application of the UAV-borne PolInSAR system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13040618","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,10]],"date-time":"2021-02-10T04:33:46Z","timestamp":1612931626000},"page":"618","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Effects of Motion Compensation Residual Error and Polarization Distortion on UAV-Borne PolInSAR"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1598-6250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zexin","family":"Lv","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Technology in Geo-Spatial Information Processing and Application System, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fangfang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Technology in Geo-Spatial Information Processing and Application System, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8517-3415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaolan","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Technology in Geo-Spatial Information Processing and Application System, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chibiao","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Technology in Geo-Spatial Information Processing and Application System, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1551","DOI":"10.1109\/36.718859","article-title":"Polarimetric SAR Interferometry","volume":"36","author":"Cloude","year":"1998","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
