In remote sensing, angle information and polarization attach great importance to the precise discrimination of land objects. This paper deals with the performance of soil reflectance spectrum dependent on such factors as incidence zenith angle, wave band, polarization, water content and soil type. Our results show that soil reflectance spectrum in 2π space is strongly affected by incidence zenith angle and water content, as well as by the other factors. In the end, the cause of such spectrum performance is analyzed.
