Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington
VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it
does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

VI. CONCLUSION
Pv A four-component scattering model based on the
covariance matrix is presented for polarimetric SAR data
decomposition. The four components are single bounce,
2 2 2 double bounce, volume scattering and circular polarization

powers. The decomposition scheme incorporates
non-reflection symmetry condition which has not been dealt
with. The fourth component, circular polarization power,
corresponds to the imaginary part of S HH S HV

which often

appears in complex urban area and disappears in natural
distributed target. The volume scattering symmetric and
asymmetric covariance can be chosen to fit the relative

measurement data. This decomposition is applied to an
disastered area by earthquake using X-band Pi-SAR image.
