Long-wave infrared (LWIR) polarimetric signatures provide the potential for day-night
detection and identification of objects in remotely sensed imagery. The source of optical …

The phenomenon of polarisation causes smooth man-made objects, such as metal and
glass, to have a different polarisation signature to that of natural vegetation. Therefore …

Modern infrared (IR) imaging systems are sensitive enough to detect weak targets, but
background clutter makes the detection difficult. The introduction of an IR polarizer into …

We report the results of a multi-day diurnal study in which polarimetric and conventional
thermal imagery is recorded in the mid-and long-wave IR to identify and compare the …

Polarimetry sensor development has been in work for some time to determine the best use
of polarimetry to differentiate between manmade objects and objects made by nature. Both …

In this Letter, a polarimetric analyzer is designed for a mid-wave infrared camera. This kind
of infrared camera transforms into the mid-wave infrared polarization imaging system to …

Nighttime active SWIR imaging has resolution, size, weight, and power consumption
advantages over passive MWIR and LWIR imagers for applications involving target …

A polarization thermal sensor is presented that has ability to detect manmade objects even
when there is little or no thermal contrast, or when the object is obscured by clutter or …

Imaging in low light is significant but challenging in many applications. Adding the
polarization information into the imaging system compromises the drawbacks of the …

We introduce a novel longwave polarimetric-based approach to man-made object detection
that departs from a more traditional direct use of Stokes parameters. The approach exploits …
