Abstract
The symmetric scattering characterization method (SSCM) has been recently introduced for high-resolution characterization of certain targets under coherent conditions. SSCM is based on the Poincare/spl acute/ sphere representation, which supports a high-resolution decomposition of symmetric target scattering, as well as assessment and validation of the backscatter coherence. In this paper, the SSCM is investigated for ship characterization using Convair-580 polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. It is shown that the target Poincare/spl acute/ parameters permit identification of dominant scatterers with a significant symmetric scattering component. The polarization orientation angle of these quasi-symmetric scatterers is used to derive an estimate of the ship's pitch angle, under certain conditions. The effect of SAR system focus setting errors and Doppler centroid mistracking on the SSCM performance is investigated. It is shown that the SSCM is sensitive to the system focus setting and Doppler centroid shift. The first-order effects of these errors can be removed prior to the application of the SSCM method.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
