The results of the investigation of the angular and spectral-polarization characteristics of 450-1080-nm radiation reflected from the surfaces of natural (leaves of trees, bark) and artificial (colored smooth surface, fabric) objects are discussed. Based on a study of the contrasts between these characteristics, we have determined the most informative spectral-polarization characteristics and the spectral and angular intervals the use of which in remote optical observations of objects would allow their most effective discrimination.
