Abstract

This chapter focuses on four typical types of land surfaces (rock, water, soil, and vegetation) as targets of observation to introduce the fifth essential feature of remote sensing of ground objects: the characteristics of radiative transfer. These include using the polarization reflectance of the vegetation canopy to demonstrate energy transfer by radiation; using the model illustrating the degree of polarization of the vegetation canopy’s reflected light to derive and characterise the pattern of polarized radiative transfer; using the relationship between a single leaf of vegetation and polarization to create a method for the characterisation of single leaf polarization; and using a few types of crops and their impacts on polarization.
