Abstract :
This paper reviews the model-based scattering power decomposition methods of fully polarimetric SAR data. Starting from Freeman & Durden 3-component decomposition, comparison of 4-component decompositions are given in terms of available information included in the coherency matrix. The final general 4-component decomposition method with unitary transformation (G4U) employs 100% polarimetric information.
