Abstract
This paper introduces a method for building location information extraction using airborne C-band polarimetric SAR data. The method is based on the analysis of building feature. The method decomposes the scattering covariance matrix into three simple mechanism, i.e., odd-bounce; even-bounce; cross-bounce. Taking into account that the typical strong T-shaped echoes from quite large buildings are visible, a method is introduced to extract the location of the buildings.
