Test Method for Target Full Spatial Polarization Characteristics by BRDF Test System

Abstract

Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to detect target full-space polarization characteristic by appropriate to backward detection and polarization imaging in short range in the target recognition, test method for full-space polarization characteristic, based on BRDF test system, was proposed. By BRDF test system, typical background samples were tested to get full-space scattering polarization characteristics. Targets were recognized by distinguishing typical background samples with target samples, through analyzing the scattered light intensity and full-space polarization characteristics. Test result proves that the test method by BRDF test system can effectively identify the targets in a typical environmental background.
