. In this paper, the nonlinear dimension reduction algorithm Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is investigated to visualize information contained in high dimensional feature representations of Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInSAR) data. Based on polarimetric parameters, target decomposition methods and interferometric coherences a wide range of features is extracted that spans the high dimensional feature space. UMAP is applied to determine a representation of the data in 2D and 3D euclidean space, preserving local and global structures of the data and still suited for classification. The performance of UMAP in terms of generating expressive visualizations is evaluated on PolInSAR data acquired by the F-SAR sensor and compared to that of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Laplacian Eigenmaps (LE) and t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor embedding (t-SNE). For this purpose, a visual analysis of 2D embeddings is performed. In addition, a quantitative analysis is provided for evaluating the preservation of information in low dimensional representations with respect to separability of different land cover classes. The results show that UMAP exceeds the capability of PCA and LE in these regards and is competitive with t-SNE.
