The invention relates to a method for realizing rugged 
topography remote sensing scene 
simulation, comprising: (1) inputting time, geographic coordinates, atmospheric condition and the like of the simulated scene into atmospheric transmissivity model Modtran with medium 
spectral resolution, and acquiring the irradiancy of 
direct solar radiation and atmospheric scattering on the level ground as well as atmospheric uplink 
transmittance and atmospheric path 
radiance; (2) inputting 
solar zenith angle, 
azimuth angle and 
digital elevation model, and calculating gradient, slope direction, solar incident angle, visible factors in the 
sky, 
topography visible factors and shadow regions; (3) according to the irradiancy of 
direct solar radiation and atmospheric scattering on the level ground and the data of ground surface 
reflectivity, calculating the irradiancy of 
direct solar radiation and atmospheric scattering on the rugged ground by utilizing the gradient, and calculating the solar incident angle, the visible factors in the 
sky, the 
topography visible factors and the shadow regions, the irradiancy of surrounding indirect 
radiation, thus forming total irradiancy received by ground surface by the irradiancy of direct solar 
radiation and atmospheric scattering on the level ground, the data of ground surface 
reflectivity and the irradiancy of direct solar 
radiation and atmospheric scattering on the rugged ground; (4) generating 
radiance data of all points on the ground at the 
entrance pupil of a sensor by utilizing the data of ground surface 
reflectivity, the atmospheric uplink 
transmittance and the atmospheric path 
radiance.
