Abstract

On the basis of the multi-angle polarized reflection spectrum of the water samples, the water body mirror reflection polarization characteristics and mechanism are described systematically. By altering such influential factors as the angle of incidence, detecting angle, detecting azimuth angle and polarization angle, ubiquitous laws for the multi-angle polarized reflection spectrum of the water samples are obtained. Combining multi-angle remote sensing with polarized light, the multi-angle polarized reflection method about eliminating the water body mirror reflection and the suitable time of the polarized remote sensing of the water body are proposed. This study provides technical references for the application of multi-angle polarization technology on water body remote sensing.
