Polarimetric scattering from inhomogeneous dielectric cylinders of arbitrary finite length

There has been growing interest in the investigation of vegetation using polarimetric remote sensing techniques. During the past several decades, a number of theoretical models have been proposed to study the scattering mechanisms in the vegetation medium and are very useful for forest stand or short crops [1]-[4].
