Abstract :
In this presentation, a new decomposition scheme of first using a rotation of the coherency matrix followed by the four-component decomposition is presented. It is shown using airborne Pi-SAR data sets that oriented urban areas are clearly distinguished from volume scattering as double bounce objects by the rotation of coherency matrix.
