Abstract

In order to solve the problem of strong echoes caused by cross scattering which still exists in the building area after target decomposition, this paper proposes a four-component decomposition model for Polarimetric SAR image based on adaptive volume scattering. This method decomposes the coherence matrix into surface, double-bounce, cross scattering and adaptive volume scattering, which uses different volume scattering models for buildings to compensate the cross-polarization in the building area. Due to increase dynamic range of the model, this method is more suitable for complex scenes with many types of features, which makes it flexible and adaptable in the decomposition process. The experimental data are the complex covariance format of L-band fully polarimetric ESAR images of Oberpfaffenhofen area, Germany, and the preliminary results shows the feasibility of the algorithm.
