    Abstract

    For getting the samples of polarization imaging needed by the development of polarization imaging sensors and compensating the lack of experimental data usually in the research of polarization imaging simulation, a method of polarization imaging simulation based on the combination of intensity images and experimentally measured surface polarized bidirectional reflectance data is proposed. Several of the simulated images under different atmospheric and geometric conditions at the height of satellite are provided to illustrate the realization processing of the method. The comparison with the simulated intensity images in the same circumstance shows that, the contrast of polarization images are less affected by low visibility, the advantage appears more prominent in the conditions of backscatter or some particular directions. The fact that the clarity of polarization imaging is more sensitive to observational direction suggests that the simulation is helpful for the selection of a specific direction for polarization imaging. Eventually, it is helpful for enhancing the ability of identifying the ground target in haze conditions through polarization imaging.
