The ability to perform polarimetric imaging throughout the visible and infrared (IR)
wavebands has improved considerably in the past decade. Systems now exist that enable …

Remote characterization of atmospheric aerosols is important because of their impact on
public health and climate. To retrieve aerosol concentration and microphysical properties …

Abstract Accurate BPDF (Bidirectional Polarization Distribution Functions) of urban will help
to improve the accuracy of inverted aerosol parameters that is very important for the …

Relatively little work has been performed to investigate the potential of polarization
techniques to provide contrast enhancement information for vegetation mapping, and for …

In the clear sky there are three commonly known loci, the Arago, Babinet, and Brewster
neutral points, where the skylight is unpolarized. These peculiar celestial points, bearing the …

Four types of polarizers are experimentally evaluated and compared for the uniformity of
their transmission axis orientations and the contrast ratio and their spatial variation …

This paper describes a method for the mapping of spatially distributed states-of-polarization
of light with a simple and compact configuration. A tiny block of polarization-analyzing optics …

This paper provides a summary of the principles that combine to create the infrared
polarization signature of an object viewed in the outdoor environment. The primary variables …

Light scattered from surfaces is partly polarized, which has implications for remote sensing
of vegetation. To study the contribution of polarized light to multiangular reflectance over …

A passive-polarization-based imaging system records the polarization state of light reflected
by objects that are illuminated with an unpolarized and generally uncontrolled source. Such …
