Polarisation Cameras

 

Salsa is a novel device which allows acquisition and analysis of four polarisation states  

 

Salsa is being used in applications which require the detection of man-made objects in complex backgrounds, including military surveillance and remote sensing. This isSALSA.jpg because man-made objects generally have smooth surfaces which have a higher degree of polarization than natural objects. Degree of polarization imaging has been proved to be able to detect man made object in shadows  

 

SALSA PERFORMS:

Fast linear Stokes polarization imaging in the visible

Passive and Active polarization imaging

 

SALSA ENABLES:

Linear Stokes Polarization Analysis

• Image contrast enhancement

• Imaging through canopies and shades

• Target Detection & Identification

• Complex 3D surface reconstruction
