Abstract
Infrared polarization imaging technology is at primary stage in China, it is necessary to develop the pertinence experimental study that will support the theory and the technologies of infrared polarization imaging. The medium wave infrared polarization imaging system was set up based on medium wave cooled focal plane detector which had characteristic of high sensitivity. Infrared polarization imaging experiments were carried out, and the infrared polarization characteristics of typical targets at some particular scenes were analyzed. The effective experimental data and imaging law were obtained that established the experimental foundation for further theory and technology research, and the fusion experiment about the polarization information based on HSV color space was studied. The results show that MWIR polarization imaging can stand out the profile of smooth surface and the difference between metal and cement component, which is benefit to detect and identify the camouflaged target. In addition, it is proved that imaging fusion about radiation intensity, degree and angle of polarization is a feasible reproduction mode, and the fusion image reflects the effective information of polarization imaging synthetically.
