In this paper, we present recent work on bioinspired polarization imaging sensors and their
applications in biomedicine. In particular, we focus on three different aspects of these …

Long-wave infrared (LWIR) polarimetric signatures provide the potential for day-night
detection and identification of objects in remotely sensed imagery. The source of optical …

The LWIR microgrid Polarized InfraRed Advanced Tactical Experiment (PIRATE) sensor was
used to image several types of RC model aircraft at varying ranges and speeds under …

Collected sources for the different types of visualizations used in the field of polarization
imaging are not extensive. Here, we survey and review the different visualization techniques …

LWIR imaging arrays are often affected by nonresponsive pixels, or “dead pixels.” These
dead pixels can severely degrade the quality of imagery and often have to be replaced …

We present a comparative study involving five distinctly different polarimetric imaging
platforms that are designed to record calibrated Stokes images (and associated polarimetric …

Recent developments for long-wave infrared (LWIR) imaging polarimeters include
incorporating a microgrid polarizer array onto the focal plane array. Inherent advantages …

Microgrid imaging polarimeters consist of a focal plane array sensor with linear polarization
filters of differing orientations overlaid at each pixel, similar in concept to the arrangement of …

Accurate calibration of polarimetric sensors is critical to reducing and analyzing
phenomenology data, producing uniform polarimetric imagery for deployable sensors, and …

Microgrid polarimeters, also known as division of focal plane (DoFP) polarimeters, are
composed of an integrated array of micropolarizing elements that immediately precedes the …
