This paper describes the methodology and presents the results of the design of a
polarization-sensitive system used to increase the signal-to-clutter ratio in a robust outdoor …

In the year 1608, Count Moritz von Nassau, Stadtholder and Admiral of the Provinces
Holland and Zeeland, was informed in a letter about an advanced optical instrument, which …

We present the concept of a Multispectral Polarization Active Imager operating in the visible
range. The acquisition of three degree of polarization (0%< Dp< 100%) images and three …

The objectives of this effort were to study the dependence of the degree of polarization of
reflected light upon scene radiance level, and to study factors controlling the relationship …

We present the modeling and the performances of a Polarization Active Imager at (lambda)
equals 806 nm. The device is operating in a monostatic configuration, using a …

LIDAR remote sensing technology has not only applications in geographical, atmospheric or
biological sciences but it can also play an important role in the everyday life. Within the last …

A new sensor technology has been developed which accurately and rapidly images the
polarization of light from a scene. Such a sensor has been used for the US Army Unmanned …

The polarization state of light provides valuable information about scenes that cannot be
obtained directly from intensity or spectral images. Polarized light reflected from scenes has …

Range-gated active imaging systems are more and more used for surveillance and night
vision applications. Their ability to improve vision through fog, snow or rain makes them …

This work determines optimal planar geometric light source and optical imager
configurations and electromagnetic wavelengths for maximizing the reflected signal intensity …
