In the use of conventional broadband imaging systems, whether reflective or emissive, scene image contrasts are often so low that target discrimination is difficult or uncertain, and it is contrast that drives human-in-the-loop (HIL) sensor range per

Most mass-produced, commercially available and fielded military reflective imaging systems operate across broad swaths of the visible, near infrared (NIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavebands without any spectral selectivity within those waveband

Differential polarimetry has shown the ability to enhance target signatures by reducing background signatures, thus effectively increasing the signal-to-noise ratio on target. This method has mainly been done for resolved, high contrast targets. For

Active imaging systems are currently being developed to increase the target acquisition and identification range performance of electro-optical systems. This paper reports on current efforts to extend the Night Vision Integrated Performance Model (NV

Polarization filters are commonly used as a means of increasing the contrast of a scene thereby increasing sensor range performance. The change in the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is a function of the polarization of the target and background, the typ

The reflective bands in modern imaging, i.e., the visible through the short wave infrared (SWIR), have become very attractive for use in both daytime and low light target acquisition and surveillance. In addition, the nature of the target in modern c

This paper is the first of three papers associated with the military benefits of SWIR imaging. This paper describes the benefits associated with passive daytime operations with comparisons of SWIR, NIR, and VIS bands and sensors. This paper includes

In a broadband imaging system, the spectral information from the scene can be as important as the spatial information for the task of discriminating an object or feature of interest (the target) from a backdrop of other objects or features of lesser

Pulse and respiration rates provide vital information for evaluating the physiological state of an individual during triage. Traditionally, pulse and respiration have been tracked by means of contact sensors. Recent work has shown that visible camera

The purpose of military camouflage is to make an object hard to see, or to confuse a hostile observer as to its true nature. Perfect camouflage would do this by making itself invisible against its surroundings. Currently, the best camouflage attempts
