This book elaborates on the physical principles of polarization remote sensing. It explains the reflective characteristics of surface objects and atmosphere separately, including theory, experiment, instrument and application. In addition, it introduces how polarization remote sensing works in advanced research programs as it can be used in aviation, astronomy, disaster risk prevention and navigation fields. This book serves as a fundamental and comprehensive reference for researchers and students.
Physical rationale of polarized remote sensing.- Remote sensing of
ground objects 1: physical characteristics of multi-angle polarized
reflectance.- Remote sensing of ground objects 2: multispectral chemical
characteristics of surface polarization reflection.- Remote sensing of ground
objects 3: Surface roughness and density structure of polarization
reflectance.- Remote sensing of land surfaces 4: Signal-to-background high
contrast ratio filtering of polarimetric reflections.- Remote sensing of land
surfaces 5: Characteristics of radiative transfer on surface polarization.-
Atmospheric remote sensing 1: the nature and physical characteristics of the
full-sky polarization pattern.- Atmospheric remote sensing 2: Neutral point
areas of atmospheric polarization and land-atmosphere parameter separation.-
Atmospheric remote sensing 3: atmospheric polarization characteristics and
multi-angular three-dimensional chromatography.- New areas in polarization 1:
bionic polarization for automatic navigation using the Earths polarization
vector field.- New areas in polarization 2: remote sensing for advanced space
exploration and global change research.
