The spectral reflectivity of the artificial target and natural background is similar, but the polarization characteristic is very different. In this paper, based on single reflection theory, the Mueller matrix model of single reflection is derived, and then the Mueller matrix measurement experiment of paint plates is carried out. The experimental results show that, different with natural backgrounds, the single reflection characteristics of artificial camouflage targets are obvious. Especially with small incident angle or small roughness, single reflection features of paints are more distinct, and depolarization ability is weak.
