Infrared And Polarized Image
 
The trucks are hard to distinguish from the background in the
Infrared image, but the trucks are clearly visible in the image
that uses Infrared imagery in combination with polarimetry.
 
What IR Imaging Does:
 
IR Imaging Applications:
 
Sensors:
Imaging Polarimetry Provides additional discriminate for target detection and ID.

Simultaneously provides IR intensity

Discriminates on material, geometry, and surface quality

Polarization signature present even with no thermal contrast
Detect manmade targets in natural clutter

Target detection at thermal cross-over

Shape determination for target ID

Countermeasure rejection

Trip wire/mine detection

Surface swimmer detection

Imaging through scattering media
MWIR Birefringent Prism Imaging Polarimeter

LWIR
