The pBRDF model is able to relate the properties of target materials to the polarization information of incident and reflected light, and is an important basis for obtaining polarization information of targets in space. It is an important basis for obtaining target polarization information and polarization detection of space targets. P-G model is the first strictly pBRDF model officially released, but there are still deficiencies. In this paper, we first analyze the assumption framework of the P-G model, derive the imperfections in the framework through the analysis of the assumption framework, and add scattering and phase function to enhance the existing model. On the basis of the existing P-G model and parameter inversion, the output results of the model are compared with the experimental data through simulation, and the results show that the relative error of the target's linear polarizability is reduced under the improved model, which proves the accuracy and precision of the improved model.
