Multispectral, multifusion, laser polarimetric imaging principles

摘要

The engineering and physical principles of a novel multispectral, multifusion, optical imaging system, based on all-active interrogation of targets surrounded by scattered media, using the Mueller matrices-based formalism, are presented. Specifically, the uniqueness of this innovative imaging system consists in the fusion of dual-energy subtraction principles, with multispectral rotating retarder, complete Mueller matrix-based polarimetric principles, implemented with other parameters. The experimental results indicate clearly that, high-contrast images can be obtained by backscattered photons from several embedded targets, in scattered media, by means of the presented principles.
