Abstract

The problem of polarization account in statistical simulation of the process of satellite imaging of the Earth’s surface in the visible and near-IR range of wavelengths is considered. The complex of algorithms is developed on the basis of the Monte Carlo method that allows reflection coefficient of the Earth’s surface to be reconstructed in the homogeneous surface approximation with and without allowance for radiation polarization. Test examples are presented that prove the correctness of the algorithmic implementation. It is demonstrated that account of polarization can be an integral part of the atmospheric correction algorithm, in particular, for weakly reflecting surfaces.
