Polarization measurement is one of the important technologies in remote sensing. Polarization measurement theory based on Stokes vector and Mueller matrix is discussed. Polarization calibration of polarization detectors is studied. Two factors which affect the precision of the polarization measurement are pointed. The correlative technologies in the overseas and internal are investigated and the application of polarization measurement in remote sensing is analyzed. The result shows that polarization measurement has wide foreground and developing reliable polarization detectors is a great direction in the area of remote sensing in our country.
