In this paper Mueller polarimetry is applied to study some natural scatter scenes in visible: soil, sand, clay and moss. To obtain the anisotropic and depolarizing properties of the samples under study, the existing additive and multiplicative decompositions of experimental Mueller matrices were used.

It is shown that all samples are characterized by anisotropic depolarization: the highest depolarization is observed for the input right and left circular polarizations, the smallest - for the input vertical and horizontal linear polarizations. The anisotropic properties of the samples under study are characterized by linear phase and amplitude anisotropy.

可见光下土壤和植被的极化II：穆勒矩阵分解

在本文中，穆勒极化仪用于研究可见光中的一些自然散射场景：土壤，沙子，粘土和苔藓。为了获得所研究样品的各向异性和去极化特性，使用了实验Mueller矩阵的现有加性和乘性分解。

结果表明，所有样品的特征都是各向异性去极化：对于输入的左右圆极化，观察到最高的去极化，对于输入的垂直和水平线性极化，观测到的最小。所研究样品的各向异性是通过线性相位和振幅各向异性来表征的。
