Abstract(in English) One of the important applications for remote sensing is the vegetation investigation from the earth environmental point of view. Since the polarimetric radar provide scattering matrix pertaining target, we tried to retrieve useful index for discriminating conifer and broadleaf tree. The decomposition of scattering matrix is applied to POL-SAR data of small trees, based on physical scattering model (surface scattering, double bounce scattering, volume scattering) proposed by A. Freeman. A 2-dimentional polarimetric imaging was carried out in an echoic chamber so that high range resolution imaging of trees becomes available. It is shown that volume scattering increases in conifer as we look inside the canopy rather than that in broadleaf tree in the X band.
