Model-Based Decomposition With Cross Scattering for Polarimetric SAR Urban Areas.

Cross-polarized scattering (HV) is not only caused by vegetation but also by rotated dihedrals. In this letter, we use rotated dihedral corner reflectors to form a cross scattering matrix and propose an extended model-based decomposition method for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data over urban areas. Unlike other urban decomposition techniques which need to discriminate between ur...
