Polarimetric thermal imaging

Passive infrared (IR) imagers, using intensity contrast for target detection, are often limited by low target-background contrast. Detecting stationary targets against cluttered backgrounds presents an even bigger challenge. Polarized signatures can be used as an additional discriminator, to impro...
