Quaternion neural networks (QNNs) achieve high accuracy in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar classification for various observation data by working in Poincare-sphere-parameter space. The high performance arises from the good generalization characteristics realized by a QNN as 3-D rotation as well as amplification/attenuation, which is in good consistency with the isotropy in the polarization-state representation it deals with. However, there are still two anisotropic factors so far which lead to a classification capability degraded from its ideal performance. In this letter, we propose an isotropic variation vector and an isotropic activation function to improve the classification ability. Experiments demonstrate the enhancement of the QNN ability.
