Polarimetric SAR Interferometry can be used for parameter inversion of ground. An appropriate model is of most importance for parameters inversion. This paper derives a series of scattering model that can be used for parameter inversion of forestry area, such as RV, RVoG, OV and OVoG. These models can reveal the characteristics of forestry area as well as establish the relationship between observed data and parameters of test area. Finally, a multi-layer random scattering model that can be used for parameter inversion of forestry area containing a man-made target is derived. An improved model is examined by the simulated data of the singlebaseline polarimetric SAR interferometry. The result turns out that the improved RVoG scattering model is correct.
