New imaging polarimeter deployed by U.S. Army improves target detection through camouflage

摘要

Polaris Sensor Technologies (Huntsville, AL, USA; www.polarissensor.com), funded by the Army Research Laboratory (Research Triangle Park, NC, USA; www.arl.army.mil) and Picatinny Arsenal (Morris Country, NJ, USA; bit.ly/VSD-PCT), has developed the Pyxis sensor, an imaging polarimeter that combines infrared (IR) and polarization technology to create a new thermal imaging system.
