  • Abstract
    In this paper we apply the ideas of target decomposition theory to compact polarimetry and use them to investigate forest applications at L-Band. We consider eigenvector methods (H/alpha), model based decompositions (RVOG) and coherent change detection (CCD) and show that compact modes are capable of maintaining important polarimetric information on forest structure and changes.
