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 improved monitoring of the Earth. Different objects have different polarized characteristics, and even different parts of the same objects show different polarization characteristics. As a result, at every band range (ultraviolet, visible, and infrared) polarimetric remote sensing requires different sensors, different band settings, different data preprocessing procedures, and even different recognition models for Earth objects. 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's contents specifies the basic definitions of terms in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Earth observation polarimetric remote sensing tasking as well as the basic processes and method from three aspects: data acquisition and preparation, data acquisition and correction, and data processing and application. Instructive suggestions in many specific dimensions are also provided, such as equipment status, parameter indicators, data calibration, and data processing methods. The contents mentioned within this standard will enable vendors to supply various components for UAV polarimetric remote sensing systems and contribute to 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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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
