Though there are many fine basic scattering models and well-designed decomposition methods, the overestimation of volume scattering (OVS) may still occur in highly oriented buildings, resulting in severe scattering mechanism ambiguity. It is well known that not only vegetation areas but also oriented buildings may cause intense cross-pol power. To improve the scattering mechanism ambiguity, an appropriate scattering model for oriented buildings and a feasible strategy to assign the cross-pol power between vegetation and oriented buildings are of equal importance. From this point of view, we propose a five-component decomposition method with a general rotated dihedral scattering model and an assignment strategy of cross-pol power. The general rotated dihedral scattering model is established to characterize the integral and internal cross-pol scattering from oriented buildings, while the assignment of cross-pol power between volume and rotated dihedral scattering is achieved by using an eigenvalue-based descriptor DOOB. In addition, a simple branch condition with explicit physical meaning is proposed for model parameters inversion. Experiments on spaceborne Radarsat\u22122 C band and airborne UAVSAR L band PolSAR datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method in the quantitative characterization of scattering mechanisms, especially for highly oriented buildings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15184512","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,14]],"date-time":"2023-09-14T10:00:23Z","timestamp":1694685623000},"page":"4512","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Five-Component Decomposition Method with General Rotated Dihedral Scattering Model and Cross-Pol Power Assignment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yancui","family":"Duan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Complex Electromagnetic Environment Effects on Electronics and Information System, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6908-1975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sinong","family":"Quan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Complex Electromagnetic Environment Effects on Electronics and Information System, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Information Technology, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenhai","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Complex Electromagnetic Environment Effects on Electronics and Information System, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Shunping","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Complex Electromagnetic Environment Effects on Electronics and Information System, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1985","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2012.2210050","article-title":"Tsunami Damage Investigation of Built-Up Areas Using Multitemporal Spaceborne Full Polarimetric SAR Images","volume":"51","author":"Chen","year":"2012","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
