Abstract(in English) The microwave remote sensing with radar attracts attention as a technique for understanding a global environmental change. The PALSAR (Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) onboard of ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite), which was launched in 2006, has been used in various fields of Earth observation. It is a unique L-band space-borne SAR system operated in fully polarimetric mode. The target decomposition theory based on eigenvalue analysis of polarimetric SAR data has been actively used for analyzing target scattering characteristics and for classifying different scattering objects. However, classification of an artificial structure becomes difficult when it has an orientation away from the radar line-of-sight. In this paper, several eigenvalue parameters are presented and investigated to improve the discrimination ability of polarimetric SAR data for different land cover types including oriented urban areas, agricultural fields, and forest.
