IEEE 1937.7-2024

IEEE Approved Draft Standard for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Polarimetric Remote Sensing Method for Earth Observation Applications

Polarimetric remote sensing is a new remote sensing observation method and a supplement to conventional remote sensing. It is effective at the ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectral regions for better monitoring of the earth. Different objects have different polarized characteristics, even different parts of the same objects show different polarized characteristics. As a result, at every band range (ultraviolet, visible and infrared) the UAV polarimetric remote sensing needs different sensors, different band setting, different data pre-processing procedures, even needs different recognition models for different earth object. Multiple parameters and diverse metrics create interoperability and data utilization problems unless standards are established in various aspects of polarimetric remote sensing for Earth observation systems. This standard specifies the basic definitions of terms in the UAV Earth observation polarimetric remote sensing task, and also specifies the basic process and method from three aspects: data acquisition preparation, data acquisition and correction, data processing and application. It also puts forward instructive suggestions in many specific dimensions, such as equipment status, parameter indicators, data calibration, data processing methods, etc. This standard will enable vendors to supply various components for Drone-based polarimetric remote sensing systems and to help ensure interoperability in operations and data utilization of polarimetric remote sensing deployed in earth observation systems.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
