In polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, speckle is removed by multilooking and the local covariance matrix is the main parameter of interest. In the covariance matrix from a backscatter with reflection symmetry, the terms S hh S &#x2217;  hv , S vv S &#x2217;  hv , and their complex conjugates are 0. The backscatter from natural covers, such as fields and forested areas, is typically reflection-symmetric, as these four elements have near-zero values. The backscatter from urban areas and manmade structures is substantially different, and the backscatter from buildings not aligned with the radar line of sight usually does not have reflection symmetry. A novel block-diagonality test statistic for reflection symmetry with a constant false alarm rate property is proposed. It is compared to an approximate test built on a change detection test statistic for Wishart-distributed covariance matrices. Their use on quad-polarimetric data in different situations shows their high potential for man-made structure detection. Applied after an orientation correction of the covariance matrices, these test statistics highlight with highcontrast buildings and urban areas. We also apply this test for ship detection at sea, and show that while the results are unconvincing at X-band, it can also be applied at longer wavelengths such as L-band.
