Abstract
Quantitative remote sensing of the material composition of natural surfaces has to utilize models of the spectral reflection and/or emission properties of the different materials as they appear in nature. Surface roughness, local incidence angle variations, material mixtures, layers etc have to be considered to perform accurate measurements. Coherent optical scatterometry offers possibilities to improve the usefulness of existing reflection and scattering models by providing added information about surface structural features by utilizing the decorrelation properties of the interference pattern at the receiver (specle).
