Review: In the last few years, polarization has been important in the field of remote sensing. This book looks at advanced concepts in the mathematical representaion of polarization, descriptors, and various optical elements used in the analysis of polarization in multiple applicatioins, such as enhanced aircraft and satellite technology, and explains the photometric and polarimic properties of atmosphere, ground surfaces, and inner and outer space. Experiments suchas the NASA lear Airborne Observatory and the Mariner explorers ar presented as a basis for manyof the recent advances in remote sensing and polarization. Both undergraduates, and students and workers in the fields of aircraft and satellite remote sensing will find the book useful.
