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 |
