偏振信号是地表与大气系统反射信号的重要组成部分，是利用遥感信息反演地表与大气信息的重要信号来源。但目前的光学遥感研究多集中于非偏振遥感，对偏振遥感研究较少，从而忽略了遥感反演中的一项重要数据源。针对此，本书作者进行了长期系统研究，结合多年偏振遥感的成果，从偏振遥感的物理基础、偏振遥感在地物参数反演的应用、偏振遥感在大气参数反演的应用及偏振遥感应用的新领域四个方面展开，系统地介绍了偏振遥感反演地表参数、大气参数及导航等的基础、原理、方法及结果验证。
本书是立志从事光学偏振遥感新领域研究者的入门书，是遥感、地球观测、测绘、国土等领域学者了解偏振遥感全貌的参考书，为相关领域从业人员借助偏振遥感手段解决其自身面临的相关问题提供了一个新视野、新手段、新方法、新途径，可作为从事偏振遥感科研、教学人员了解偏振遥感理论、技术和方法的指南，也可为相关技术研究人员提供有价值的参考。
