Abstract:

The problem of taking into account the influence of polarization is considered for correction of satellite images of the Earth surface in the visible wavelength range for the distorting effect of the atmosphere. A program complex for calculation of the radiation components forming the satellite images has been developed with and without allowance for radiation polarization in the approximation of the homogeneous surface. Conditions are established under which the neglect of the radiation polarization can lead to significant errors in reconstruction of the reflection coefficients of weakly reflecting surfaces.

Keywords:

optical radiation transfer in the atmosphere, atmospheric correction of satellite images, light polarization, Monte Carlo method
