Abstract:
As the quantitative precision of remote sensing information is higher and higher,the polarization correction factor attracts more attention. Therefore, the research on the polarization feature of remote sensors and obtaining normalized Muller elements is necessary, which play an important role in the quantitative research of remote sensing information and polarization correction. However, the polarization sensitivity cannot reflect the polarization feature, which is the comprehensive reflection of polarization response. The analytic method of normalized Muller elements was studied by Fourier series fitting, and the polarization response of remote sensors was obtained. And then the normalized Muller elements m2, m3 were calculated by the polarization response, based on Fourier series fitting. The normalized Muller elements at different Fourier orders were analyzed, and the relative deviation was better than 0.12%. Finally the test error of normalized Muller elements was analyzed, which was better than 0.96%, and the research has further application for the normalized Mueller elements of the remote sensors.
