In this study, TanDEM-X full-polarimetrlc bistatic and monostatic imagery are exploited for maritime applications purposes. The Mueller matrix and the phase difference between co-polarized channels (CPD) are exploited to deal with both the monostatic and the bistatic scenes. Subtle differences are found between the Mueller matrix collected in bistatic/monostatic mode; while similar performance is achieved when the CPD is exploited.
