Abstract

Polarization, together with intensity, frequency, and phase, are the four main physical features of remote sensing using electromagnetic waves. This chapter discusses the physical rationale of remote sensing. For the two bottleneck problems we have in remote sensing, namely (1) restriction from the two ends of electromagnetic spectrum reflected by land objects and (2) atmospheric window attenuation difference, this chapter provides three breakthroughs: (1) the basis from which to support “bright light attenuation” and “weak light intensification” in the area of polarized remote sensing of land objects, this can greatly expand the detection range at both the dark and the bright ends of remote sensing data inversion; (2) accurate description of polarization methods and research on the rules of atmospheric attenuation, as well as exploration of the basis for new atmosphere window theory of atmosphere polarized remote sensing.
