Abstract :
Illustrations of parameters obtained from polar decomposition derived from fully polarimetric data acquired by ALOS-PALSAR over the Mai-Ndombo lake, in the Democratic Republic of Congo are presented. Results show their complementarity to usual polarimetric indices, such as the entropy or the alpha parameters
