Radiative Transfer Theory (RTT) is one of the essential foundations in astrophysics, engineering thermophysics, computer graphics, biomedical imaging, and remote sensing. RTT is particularly widely used in the field of quantitative remote sensing. However, classical RTT is a phenomenological theory based on heuristic summarizations of experiments instead of being directly derived from the first principles. Given the ignorance of the wave property, RTT cannot explain interference and diffraction phenomena, e.g., the well-known coherent backscattering.The root of RTT dates back to the photometry study by Bouguer, Lambert, and Beer. Von Lommel and Chwolson are believed to propose the integral form of the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) for the first time in the 1880s. Afterward, many other scientists, including Schuster, Schwarzschild, Eddington, Milne, Gans, Sobolev, Chandrasekhar, Rozenberg, and Tsang, contributed to the establishment of RTT as a strict theory. However, classical RTT implicitly depends on the assumption of independent scattering, which fails when applied to dense matter. It requires the first-principle approach to bridge the gap between classical RTT and classical electromagnetics and extend the application of RTT. Three ways can be applied: (1) direct derivation, (2) numerical simulations, and (3) controlled experiments.Direct derivation of the RTE from first principles (i.e., Maxwell equations) is the most fundamental approach. Mishchenko and his colleagues’ derivation is currently considered the most rigorous. This derivation is primarily based on previous research on multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves, to which Foldy, Lax, Twersky, and many others have made significant contributions. Mishchenko et al. managed to derive the RTE from Maxwell equations for both coherent and incoherent intensities under the condition of plane wave and discrete random media. The derivation proves that RTT is not a disconnected “island” from the “mainland” of classical electromagnetics.Besides derivations, numerical simulations and controlled experiments help reveal the connection between RTT and numerically exacted computational electromagnetics. In these simulations and experiments, the RTT and electromagnetic computation results are compared under different conditions. Results show that RTT can yield satisfactory results when the volume percentage of scatterers is low. Some corrections, e.g., the Percus-Yevick model, can be introduced to compensate for the errors of RTT when the density of scatterers further increases. Based on these studies, some efforts have been made to extend RTT to the case of dense matter. Notable achievements include the DMRT and the R2T2 theories.Although these studies are still limited to some ideal situations, they have provided some guidance for the mechanistic revision of RTT, thereby expanding the scope of its application. On the contrary, the combination of radiative transfer methods with computational electromagnetics becomes a research direction of interest, along with the development of computer performance and the improvement of relevant algorithms. At present, different methods are used in quantitative remote sensing for different wavebands and different research objects: for example, optical remote sensing and microwave remote sensing for vegetation or vegetation remote sensing and atmospheric remote sensing. Although the names of the methods used are “radiative transfer,” they are based on different assumptions and approximations. The combination of RTT and computational electromagnetics is a promising approach to unifying the remote sensing modeling and inversion studies of different wavelengths and objects.
