Abstract :
Summary form only given. The allocation of the informative parameters of reflected radiation and determination of a different sort of contrasts between the objects is one of the major problems for objects detection and recognition in remote sensing science. The purpose of the work is the determination of most informative spectropolarization attributes, spectral and angular intervals, the use of which in the study could promote a display of maximum contrasts between natural and artificial objects. For development of a research technique in natural experiments on image registration a series of laboratory measurements were conducted. As natural objects in laboratory measurements the leaves of various kinds of trees (oak, linden, chestnut etc.) and wood (pine) cortex with the parts covered with a moss were used, and as artificial objects - the painted metal surfaces of various tones of green color and a green (camouflage) fabric were used. The laboratory spectral measurements were conducted on a goniometer unit.
